      The thing I find most fascinating about the endless CVD (Coordinated Disclosure) vs Full Disclosure debate is that both sides are essentially right. Their arguments are sound, data and precedent on their side. The main difference is which outcome you're trying to optimize for.

      If you're optimizing for "Treat everyone equally and consistently, and let every end user stand or fall on their own technical knowledge" then Full Disclosure is king. If you're optimizing for "Harm reduction" overall, then CVD is king. Everything else is preference.

      Nobody argues "every man for himself" lol! We argue for autonomy and empowering users. You're not a doctor, but I assume you want autonomy in choosing your treatment options, right? Why let your vendor choose what's best, and why trust them to have your best interests at heart?

      At the moment, I'm "Sheltering in place" at the request of doctors as a harm reduction strategy for the broader population, even though what's best for me might be just wearing a mask and gloves and getting on with life. So, I think autonomy has its practical limits.

      I think you may also be overestimating the benefits of informed autonomy in a lot of cases where "informed" assumes technical skill or knowledge that people just don't have.

      If I understand correctly, you're saying you don't need to be informed why we're sheltering in place, you just trust that it's in your best interests?

      I think the argument is, "I don't need to understand the full technical details in order to protect myself by sheltering in place, because my vendor/doctor has given me a simpler/easier explanation." ? (1/2)

      Where this analogy falls down for me, is that FD w/ no patch equates to trusting end users not to use masks, but ventilators with battery packs that they've never seen. (2/2)

      You've lost me with the battery packs. The point was simple, making decisions for other people because they're not "qualified" is a bad thing, without a ton of footnotes, is this generally true or not?
