One note from human behaviour:
As a species we overestimate our ability to adapt to new information.
Studies consistently show that first data in is very hard to overcome even with well-evidenced retractions later on.
This is why it's exceptionally important to go lightly into the first waves of any new data dump, especially when the data is emotionally charged.
Sit with the emotion instead of trying to sear developing "facts" into your head.
It will make critical analysis easier later on.
I dunno! Yours is short, sweet, and to the point!
@MLClark For once, I feel like a real writer with no editorial needed!
