It's like seeing your teenager smoking, so you throw him on an operating table to cut a cancerous lung out. Or one of those horrible mathematical proofs where they write out the basic equation over half a page, say "of course, it would be obvious to any educated person that this reduces to", and they hand you an equation that is only two inches long, and expect you to understand what they did. Few steps in the middle missing from either of those chains of events. The middle bits we've not talked about, and maybe we should.
