I agree with you, but it's amazing how people can still not think about things.
I fondly remember the old (apocryphal) story about how you can pop frogs in a pot of water, and if you increase the heat slowly enough, they'll stay in it until they boil to death. "Silly frogs" we all thought. Yet, here we are.
- avip 7y agoThere are two orthogonal "frog in a pot" tales. You've covered the first. The second is about the two frogs which fell into a bucket full of milk. We should get ourselves familiarized with both [0] :) [0] both stories, not frogs
