I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

In general, exactly why you think.
In the short term specific to this case, it sounds like KBJ had bad options and picked the one that kept the court process moving most quickly. www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

The Rose Reading room at the NYPL, for instance, is a place where literally anyone can have access to world class research materials— a universe of ideas— and, if they use them right, and stay at it, they can become a genius

Interesting to see which Major League team did that. One of the dopiest rebranding campaigns I can recall was a few years ago when they moved the AAA team from Pawtucket to Worcester, made a big deal about coming up with a new name, and now … they’re the Worcester Red Sox.
