What's the Schrödinger's cat equivalent in your profession/main activity? (lemmy.ml)

Needless to say i'm talking about the oversimplified and misleading version of the Schrödinger's cat paradigm, where he is both dead and alive until you watch it.

I don't have a job but i follow theater courses at an academy. And my improvisation is both funny and awful until i show it to others.

Kids are pedophiles.

It's better if I don't explain.

In the professional Trust and Safety world you find out pretty quickly that any space that allows both preteens and chatting will devolve into naughty words being exchanged while the kids explore the boundaries of this new social situation; but then you still have a job to do, which is protect kids from inappropriate content and chats, so you gotta treat the cringe the same way you treat for pedophiles. But this becomes awkward when the parents email or call in to find out why little Timmy is banned and you have to share chat logs showing little Timmy's little Timmy was maybe doing the thinking and chatting.
