Just reading this, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

On the surface, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context. This probably isn’t the last word on it.
