Some advice from an editor from years ago: “Never do that.”
Yeh, well, I never did it so I guess I knew that already.
But it really was sort of humorous.
Things like the observation that the ruling race must have been the metal denizens because they took their slaves to their work every day and then they just sat there enjoying the view, the fact that the prevailing mode of communication was radio waves because that's all the observers ever observed, etc.
