Here’s where I want to highlight that the primers, discussions and deep dives presented in this newsletter (especially the parts where I point out something wrong) are never written with a finger-wagging attitude.
I’m aiming for yes-and in storytelling, not to tell people what they shouldn’t do. As far as I’m concerned, anyone who reads everything here and does all the science wrong anyway is fine by me—I can think of many valid artistic reasons that this might be necessary.
The ideal here is that readers come away knowing the fundamentals of the relevant science, and therefore know where and when to bend the rules—or even when they’re going to have to own the fact they did something impossible so that they could tell their story.
