@kissane that's good work, Erin. Not just an insight, but one that suggests possible courses of action.
Re: the insight, I was marginally involved with the Makers movement in the 2000s. A common challenge was: can you explain X from prime principles? Almost always no, we could not. (Arduino founder Massimo Banzi, though, claimed he could, for most common objects - a fridge, for example). "Atoms are hard", people used to say. Hence the culture of instructables, documentation, and community.

@alberto_cottica Thank you! And that feels right to me, at least—realistic humility about our cognition seems like a first step toward building toward more stable and resilient ways to know things.
