"Hot take" OP here. I hear you, Anonymous. I too run in PMC circles and yes, indeed, the TDS is bad. That said, in my experience, financial incentives do have a way of getting people to limber up their notions... slowly but surely... Maybe not everybody, but, as I say, vaguely enough, "many people."
And a note about TDS. Mainly I stay quiet when the people around me start thrilling to their TDS. And the funny thing is, they don't seem to notice that I'm staying quiet because they're so into it. They work themselves up sometimes to the point where they're practically spitting! And I'm not the only person who stays quiet in these situations. I'm noticing the people who stay quiet.
