Some people have a transformative experience doing something and then their brain breaks a little bit and they attribute it to something that had nothing to do with it (like audio fidelity).

You’re not wrong but sometimes the insight is how people different from you tell a story or a different way to think about things that sucks but resonates with enough people to exist. It’s easy to want to optimize life to remove friction but that ironically generates more bad stories.
