Or perhaps, "Our epidemiologists told us we had two fundamental strategies for addressing this epidemic: (a) "honesty," in which we give our citizens accurate information about this virus; and b) "obsequiousness," in which we say nothing that could set off the president.
"Using two alternative scale-free models that result in power-law degree distributions above and below the exponent ν = 3 associated with the conventional Barabási-Albert model, we concluded the second strategy would save more Georgians' lives,
given the risk that our state wouldn't get ventilators if we pursued the first strategy, and besides, you folks wouldn't listen to us if we told you the truth, anyway. So, that's what we did, following the best scientific advice and practice."
