@rabbit74 I got from the 'another way of looking at it' that the text it might be about:
➡️ showing that you could put people into a formation from the way info was presented
and / or
➡️ the way people think is a bit fickle like that, true or not or as a cynical comment or not, and naturally or not... we are a bit fickle or imperfect, copying others, taking wrong signs, maintaining tribal identities etc
The above might be repeating what was said as somewhat simpler, and doesn't negate anything you said.
