“But at higher levels, there’s just too much to spell it all out. It’s important to try, to define boundaries for that shape so you have some way to talk about them, but you can’t capture all of it in full detail. It relies on a mutual understanding about implied work.”

I don’t know when this started, but releasing medical test records directly to patients without mediating through experts is not a good experience.
Getting a list of point-in-time measurements, without error margins, of things I don’t understand the significance of and have different ranges “depending on the lab”, but have an understandably high emotional attachment to, is not a good experience.
