They especially have the advantage over the people standing outside who are pretending there are magical centaurs in the park that grant wishes if you’re not gay.

No, the metaphor breaks down at that point because there is no peeking over the wall, there is no listening to talk from inside the stables. We’re not even at the track. It’s all shit that is beyond observation, beyond calculation, beyond any kind of verification or validation. It is a thing no body has any good reason to act like they know anything about in a scientific capacity.

You must be one of the people outside the track afraid to look because you can’t bear the thought of not having your very own wish-granting centaur.
