My take on the ASMs to date is that they’ve been a jizz fest for the Lebby/Perk fan base. Sort of like a Star Wars convention. Lebby provides no information of substance, but tosses out just enough teasers to tamp down any possible dissent. Throw in a “lab tour” and a “device demonstration” and Proto, Sparty, X et al. become a bunch of boy band groupies, wetting their knickers at the very sight of Lebby in his black turtleneck. I fully expect this ASM will pass without answers to hard questions; and the groupies will emerge “more excited and certain than ever.”
It’s hard to admit when you’ve made a bad decision. The adults accept it; the less secure individuals double down and attack anyone who challenges their narrative - not with facts, of course, but with vitriol. The latter group is on full display on this board every day.
