In fact, standing on the leaking dam while realizing it is leaking, and doing nothing is worse.
What do you propose doing, exactly?
Okay, at the risk of beating this metaphor to death, I'm not standing on the dam. I'm standing on the other side of the hill, on the high ground far, far away. All the people downriver know the dam is leaking too. All of them can flee to higher ground. Then, if the dam breaks, it's academic. The breeches are too severe to be fixed, and standing on the dam throwing spackle into the cracks doesn't do a thing. You go down when it goes too. So I say let the dam break. Just be smart enough to get out of the way before it does.
I've said all I'm going to say on this matter. If you want to wrestle in the hog wallow, go for it. It's nothing to me. I'll spend my time elsewhere.
