there are actors who excel in the status quo through virtue of said quo lauding their strengths (here, putting on a good face during sync communication) alongside basic competency in other skills (having a bare minimum capability outside their face fronting forte)
when that status quo slips away, it exposes those who were merely charlatans acting the lauded part (putting on a good facade face while lacking depth in teh actual capabilities society and organizations rely on, simply fronting a good appearance)--the changes uncovers those who failed to put forth the front out of ignorance of or disdain for it. it raises those whose true strengths mattered more all along, but to which broader culture was blind to, having long lost its way tacking too hard towards praising the facade, assuming it implied the foundation
fires burn away some moss; the hardwood remains--it was always there, but now we get to see it, and further see that some of the most elegant fungus was naught but a large clump of mold growing upon itself alone, without much underneath
