And you of course know that I wasn't venting at you, personally.
I've been making stories for all of my life, near enough. Given that long a time doing one thing, having to figure out why that didn't work; why that DID work, when it shouldn't have, should it?; and omighod HOW am I going to make that work, given all the rest of it? I notice things on the professional level, even when I'll tell you that I'm not analyzing, I'm Just Watching.
Building stories is the only thing I'm good at; couldn't build a bridge, say, if I wanted to. That said, I trust the guys who are laying the plates and driving the pilings to know what they're doing, and that they're doing what they're doing purposefully and for solid reasons well-known in their trade.
