   Which is another piece of the same propaganda and self-fulfilling   
   prophecies: rather, once upon a time we knew way *better*, and   
   still do, as we have also never stopped learning and improving.   
      
   Not trying to detracting from anybody's work in particular, but   
   the mainstream myths, the rationale and the methods even before   
   any techniques, are upside-down to put it charitably.   
      
   Indeed, not to even mention any respect for competence and   
   experience, with all that that implies in terms of growing   
   and learning, now especially good luck with that "safety"...   
      
   Anyway, enough of that.  (EOD.)
