I mean, does that necessarily have to be taken as true in the first place? Both parts maybe, but I mean the first thing. Are numbers not, in the end, demographic? Talk to most people who work in retail, became a child actor, reported a billionaire shooter, etc. and tell me what you think.

If someone apologizes, and they do it properly, and everyone else doesn't do their part properly, I mean I'd have a hard time sympathizing with the crowd. Not that I don't already. I've been in this exact situation very often. I think maybe once my apology was accepted, and this one time is often scorned by people who think they know better than the apology receiver and invalidate his acceptance of it, implying I unforgivably offended the world. Should the unyielding people not always be checked first to see if they're the asshole?
