Sorry you feel edgy. But "wow" is the only response I have recognising the
pattern: something is not going quite like we wanted, some complaints are made,
some symptoms are observed, some explanations are brought forward. But then,
instead of scrutinising that -- and, most importantly, taking into account the
path that led here -- a shortcut is taken.

The term for that is "jumping to conclusions", I believe, and it has hurt the
Radicle project on more than one occasion.
