*“It is the obvious which is so difficult to see most of the time. People
say 'It's as plain as the nose on your face.' But how much of the nose on
your face can you see, unless someone holds a mirror up to you?”  -- Isaac
Asimov, "I, Robot" 1950*
Ahh, The Documenting Dilemma. :)

The most knowledgeable, those best suited to have the answers, are in the
most disadvantaged position to know what most needs writing. While those
with the best view of what needs answering, are least able to respond.

These two experiential base points are a perfect match, but the joining can
be bumpy and scratchy affair, needing adjustments.

Take it as a given that Edward is doing his damnedest to make things easier
for people to understand Leo. It is a multi-decade effort and sharing the
wealth is in the project's DNA.

Let's also take it as a given that there are _always_ more questions than
answers.

A mirror popped up in front of us can be a startling experience, even when
expected.

Brevity is not the same as terseness.

There's supposed to be a narrative weaving these thoughts together, but
it's failing to coalesce. Normally when this happens I save to draft or
relegate to the great electron recycler. Tonight though I leave them on the
table, half baked.

Peace. Breathe.
