That sounds stressful.
It's interesting.
I mean, I would say, you know.
Very often, like, it's one of the more complicated things of, like, when do you note that someone is Catholic?
So we'll switch it from Jewish.
And it's like, sometimes you do.
Sometimes you don't.
Like, actually, sometimes it's relevant to the biography.
Sometimes it isn't.
And there's also an issue, in my opinion, I've seen both kinds of cases where you think you just want to put it in there because you've got some sort of a bias against Jews or you just want to put it in there because you've got some sort of bias in favor of Jews.
It's like, yes, we would like to claim the Nobel Prize winner in physics.
Yes.
What about Bernie Madoff?
No, somebody wants to force it in there.
And, you know, and it's kind of like, oh, come on, people, like, let's be consistent.
And like, yeah, for me, it's really about like.
To what extent is it relevant?
So my entry, I don't know what it says at the moment about this, but it's like at one point the categories is another issue because unlike most things that can be rewritten and rewritten to sort of smooth out the rough edges to say, you know, so-and-so was born in a Jewish family but isn't practicing or whatever.
And if that's relevant to their life because they talk about it or whatever.
But categories, you're either in or you're out.
