My Fair Lady, maybe too.

"I can tell a woman's age in half a minute - and I do."  Surely H. Higgins prided himself on consistency :)

I remember reading something like the following:

   "Consistency alone is not necessarily a virtue.
    One can be consistently obnoxious."

I believe it was in a discussion to an RSS read paper,
maybe from about 30 years ago, but I have not been able
to find it again.  A web-search for "consistently obnoxious"
taught me more about asbestos corks than I care to know,
but was otherwise unhelpful.

Can anyone provide the source, or at least a lead?

        Many thanks, Ewart Shaw.
