   I was going to reply by quoting myself, something devastatingly   
   clever, but instead I decided to... wait. No. I am quoting   
   myself, you lucky dog!   
      
   "You can’t make the world a better place by imposing today’s views   
   on the past. If you want to make the world a better place you’ve   
   got to impose tomorrows views on to today."   
      
   You only ever look back, and rarely in 20/20.   
      
   Oh. That's something of a pun, your refusal to acknowledge a single   
   mistake/lesson from the 2020 CoronaPanic. You instead seemed to   
   be obsessed with getting ahead of the curve, being the first to   
   overreact.   
      
   And now, well, now you're fighting a court case that happened 100   
   years ago.
