If you ever release a “simplified form” of an idea for ease of illustration, but it gets traction, people will forget all caveats and use it in place of full form, and complain loudly when it fails. The OODA loop is a good example. My double-freytag model is another. Never ELI5.
Wonder if there has been a general study of the effects of modern medicine in terms of an equivalent to delayed/hidden economic externalities. Perhaps @literalbanana would know.
