I think it probably just all needs to be exposed first. ALL of it. You wouldn’t wanted your landscaper (if you were lucky enough to have such a thing) to quit draining a swamp when there was still shit in there just because he/you was tired and bored with the task at hand would you? Because you didn’t like seeing all the gunk and filth that was there, you wouldn’t just permit the rest of it to remain once your eyes had had their fill. You’d want the job to be done as thoroughly and as efficiently as possible. The fluid in the swamp has already exposed many of the creatures that live there, perhaps even most, but there are more in there yet to reveal themselves. If it’s worth doing at all it’s worth doing right. Take heart dude. When we look back on all of this we won’t look back on the time it seemed to take, we’ll look back on how it was executed, so let’s try not to focus too much on time right now - for the sake of our mental health. Although I do share your exasperation too.
