Why write about anything? Because it's interesting to people; it's important to be aware of the news and have the skills to critically analyze the world around us; not everyone is keyed into lit news. This particular situation was a good case study to introduce the concept of a 'missing stair' to people who may not have that term in their vocabulary yet, so I chose to share it and offer my analysis. It was Boosted, so clearly, people find value in what I've written here. If you don't, you aren't obligated to stay and comment. What was your reason for writing this comment?
