    Default think

    I wonder if there is subtle difference between "1" and "2".
    1. I think that it's not a good idea.
    2. I don't think that it's a good idea.

    I don't think so.
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

    Can you think of a situation where one would clearly be better than the other?
