And I feel like if I couldn't come out to the contestants and say "it went great" with a straight face.
But then if I imagine an MoD saying "Our soldiers finished training on these two anti-air missile launchers, which will defend our skies, and together with all the other things we bought it makes us strong", it wouldn't feel fake to me.
And I wouldn't say "don't celebrate until USA delivers the remaining 12 launchers".
I guess that's because I know how bad it was before

@jmaris@eupolicy.social @benroyce@mastodon.social maybe it's because messages like "many of you trust me" or "the technical issues you encountered in my contest were minor and didn't bother you" are backwards - they feel like things the audience would know better than the speaker,
