      It so obviously is. As you learn more, it gets to a point where you wish there was some sort of betting market for it. Really, that’s what all those “Who had this on their bingo card” comments mean. Something so glaringly obvious because it has reoccured so many times like clockwork, it’s expected. If it doesn’t end up happening, it’s “overdue” status.

      Edit: Though, as someone born in the 80s, I’d like some peace and quiet now. Felt like I’ve lived a lifetime and I’m only halfway at best.
