Yeah, well, it's like timing a joke. I mean, all the words have to work and not too many. And so, yeah, well, and you say there's something interesting about in terms of assessing the creative process there, too. It's like one of the things that was striking about your documentaries is that you you were inspired, in my estimation, by an important question in both cases, right?
