Normally, it is the Germans who see the potential problems of some innovation and run around preventing things from happening because something *could* go wrong. We even have a common word for that stereotype that is so widely spread in Germany, the “Bedenkenträger” (= “bearer of concerns”). Now, if I find myself on the side of arguing for change where others are clinging to the status quo, I find this deeply concerning. Grüße, Carsten (If you didn’t notice, this is all tongue in cheek. But I’m still amazed by what dangerous animals these ex-RFC-authors must be that we can’t expose them any further.)
