This article feels like getting punched in the stomach. You’re 100% dead-on about the dynamic in that room, and how the exact same dynamic is present in the culture as a whole.

That objective/subjective categorization is hilarious to me, and reminds me of the “judge-scored sports aren’t real sports” crowd. Strike zone? Foul, or na? WHAT IS A CATCH, ffs? All subjective.
