In my opinion “Can you do it?” automatically becomes a case of “SHOULD you do it?”
If it’s as simple as “No, you absolutely CAN’T do it, under any circumstances”, then it’s a no brainer, you don’t do it cos it’s not physically or even perhaps theoretically possible

One of the big misconceptions I’ve heard going around about the song “Stop the Cavalry” (Jona Lewie, 1980) is that it was written about WW1 and the trenches and the Xmas Truce and all that other stuff

You know WHY they’re starting to say people are being overdiagnosed with stuff like autism, etc.?
It’s so they don’t have to actually change anything for that many people, it’s so they can claim they got a reason to maintain the inequities in society. It’s got sod all to do with the science
