Thanks to the many people whose replies and work I cited, including @hondanhon @JoshFialkov @annehelen @typhoonjim @mjandersen @gabrielroth @lauraehall and more!

Was just reminded by @naomialderman that our Perplex City saying was “It’s like we did it on purpose” (not “We meant to do it all along”) which I have edited. The actual version is even better in context than my incorrect memory!
@naomialderman I submitted my post to Hacker News (yes, I know) and incredibly, every single top comment has been downvoted. Not sure what to make of it. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=240284…
