From my point of view, not being a researcher but consumer of others’ work, my position is that I know very little about what is going on. Not that I am short on info, but it is impossible to get the whole picture. So it’s like gliding over the water, but never on firm ground. Making pronouncements on what is happening is not helpful unless you really have solid info, and I have been lead astray many times when someone claimed to have solid facts. Datefagging is especially tempting, because it establishes something solid (seemingly), and then the letdown and some degree of despair. Be here to be with others, but not to get the answers you want when you want them. watch and pray.
