Well the thing about the fast way is that it’s easily co-optable and you can end up with things really sucking for everyone just to end up in a worse position if you’re not careful.

Yeah, so it can possibly go wrong, instead of being guaranteed to go wrong.

You’re right, but being careful about stuff hasn’t and isn’t really working out for us.
