Because it's funny you say that, because my brand perception is when I say, can please distill and give me a sense for if there are winners and losers in the proposed UK trade agreement, I think of perplexity, because I assume it's going to have more up-to-date information, and you're saying that's not accurate.
Look, I was a hater and I like to think I've evolved as a human and I'm open to learning.
