@ireneista Absolutely. I tried to balance the same kinds of concerns, but I absolutely take the point that I may not have done so ideally.

(if a "war" is lost, can you fight it again and win? what does losing a "war" mean when that war is at most a loose metaphor? how do I invoke the common idiom of "war on X" without carrying along the idea that when you lose a war, you tend to just be dead? language is hard)
