You’ve done such an outstanding job here at breaking this down - frankly an ‘11’. BUT because I now realize how unconsciously poor I am at things, I really hate it! I’m definitely going to stop listening for the sake of my own ego! ;) (note: being upper quartile, my ‘11’ is probably a truthful ‘8’)
