But I feel as if we’re in “frog boiling” (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog>); we reach a compromise, it all goes quiet for a while, and then incrementally we’re asked to compromise between there and one end. OK, it must be Friday, two jokes in one post: An infinte number of mathematicians enter a bar. The first one asks for a pint of beer. Then the second asks for half a pint; the third for a quarter of a pint, and so on. Eventually the barman gets exasperated and says “the trouble is, you guys just don’t know your limits!”.
