I think it's obviously possible to make some wrong guesses, just as it's
possible to guess wrong about who's a queer and who isn't, but I think
it's not all that hard to be right more often than not. The reason is
that there are a lot of other "tells" available. All "vegans" are
left-wingers, although not all left-wingers are "vegans"; but if you see
a car plastered with a lot of ecotopian slogans and other left-wing
blabber, there's a pretty good chance that the owner is at least an
extreme vegetarian, if not "vegan". Also, if the driver gets out of the
car and is wearing Birkenstocks, that's another good "tell".
