This goes along with some conversations people had, oh, repeatedly since, like, last April or May, at least. That is, average persons do not do concepts like statistics, and logarithmic or exponential and it is easier to do yes/no binary than "relatively short and few" in their brains. Which could be addressed constructively, but ...

Now, if we had had proper leadership and clear, consistent guidelines from the top to start with, none of that might have mattered. But our leadership, at least, still says there's nothing to see, here, so people are overwhelmed with babble. Much of it garbage and lies and bizarre delusions. And at this point even some otherwise reasonable people are just done. Too much noise, shut up, do not want to hear any more.

So I haz a sad that really a lot of people are trying and feel like the goal posts keep getting moved on them and it is absolutely fair to be exhausted and kind of give up. Even though I wish they would not give up. But I get it.
