That may well be. However, further complicating it are the people who dislike accountability, as I first mentioned, but *reframe it* as a "policial" or "legal" issue. There's no shortage of that, especially in 2021. If only we had a way to clear that smoke away and find out what earnest objections remain. I, for one, haven't encountered any that didn't turn out to be the aforementioned on further inspection.
