I get so caught up in making sure my meaning can't possibly be misinterpreted that I get lost on my way to the point. I guess I don't want to be a cherry-picked example of somebody being stupid on the Internet.

Write something with specificity to avoid attacks on a general statement and nobody reads it because it’s TL;DR.

Write something general and brief and you get attacked for lack of specificity with people naming exceptions.

If it makes you feel any better, just know that journalism is based on cherry picked stuff because that's the only way they're able to live nowadays

Well, that's the only way we have ever lived. Specifically cherry picking stuff that could potentially kill us. Ipso facto; if it bleeds it leads
