good example of same ‘ol narrative tapdancing by us. We are so long and so repetitive on ‘what’ i.e. he’s this or that trend, number, rank… and so omit the comparisons and the WHY?
Consider TN, which we acknowledge is ‘on a tear’… while avoiding their 25*, 2 4* ‘run’ in a week compared to our 3 lo-med 4* ‘epic run’ of last month….
we can – and do – constantly gyrate between ‘so know’ and avoiding – especially by quantitative comparison, supposedly our fav ‘proof’ of ‘expertise.
Question: should we not ‘actually consider’ the significance of ‘ending up #1… instead of leaping out in front at the start…and ‘clinging to our #1’ …long before the finish?
suggestion: ‘speak softly’… and ‘carry that big stick’… for the finish, not the first lap of a mile race… which is actually a lot longer….
