What Frank is after is more akin to standing in the way of the fire
fighters, demanding to know what they are going to do about the house
burning to the ground behind his back and tell him *immediately* why
the house is on fire!

The worrying part is Frank's total lack of understanding about the
nature of the issue and frightening inability to understand the
explanations given to him.

Don't worry Jeff, Frank will totally ignore you here, or miss the
point you are making. If he actually "gets it" this time, I owe you a
beer.
