Focus

Seeing the patriarchal and class based origins of the word wench and seeing why it is unlikely to be received well, without trial and error. I know a car is heavy and moving fast, so I understand it would hurt to step in front of it. This a continuum. You don't need to understand the precise mathematical relationship between velocity and mass, to understand the 'if will hurt' part. Always gathering knowledge empirically…can lead to discomfort.
