I’m not sure you have really thought this through. You’re suggesting that people avoid using port and starboard on a boat because they should be focused on learning how to not fall overboard? Terms like “port” and “starboard” are particular

They are not distracting. There are many intense situations on a boat, and a crew is required to cooperate in order to survive. This means you must have extremely precise wording to quickly explain what needs to be done. This vocabulary is

What is the causality behind the social programs? You are saying they are enabling the homelessness, but it seems more likely that high housing cost cities are simply dealing with their resulting homeless populations?

When you input a query, you get a numerical representation output. If you have 3-5 similar queries (each phrased a bit differently), they all have slightly different outputs. If you average them all together, it combines them in a way that

You would have to show that that apple has colluded with other app stores to maintain a 30% fee. Otherwise, they charge the fee, and a competitor is free to attract developers with a lower fee, which is competition. You could argue that app

That’s a very fair argument. One consideration that comes to mind is if the scale necessary for operating nuclear is much greater than the examples you cited? Thinking out loud, without taking a stance on either side, it seems we would need
