That’s a really good point. It’s like stealth obsession with signaling, because there’s a need to not signal.
This in turn reminds me of how beginning statistics students often confuse independence and anti-correlation. I’m trying to point at the analog of independence, but if folk who feel compelled that I’m pointing at something real don’t grok what I’m pointing at, they’re likely to land on the analog of anti-correlation.
