The “all models are lies” rule applies to every abstraction, including the abstraction of expressing things in percentages

what a bunch of crap percentages usually are. I assume I’m being tricked whenever I see the damned things

Like lots of people I suppose, I think of who I was and what I posted more than a year or two ago to be, on average, a little cringe. More than five years old? A little embarassing. Ten or more years old? A little shameful. On average, of course. So it goes.

In spite of all that, or in order to grow, I've horded my embarassments from various platforms over the years and present them here for your avoidance. This is not a place of honor, and so on.
