This is great Bob, very glad to see where this framing has landed. The contrast with traditional science communication & research translation is super compelling and clarifies a lot -- and disabuses a great many of us of our pretensions to effective communication!

Also: I was going to mention that this is my first Substack comment ever and then I remembered I have commented once before on an Emily Oster post about parenting a toddler -- a case in point re the archetypal Advisor archetype!

It looks like your sentence was cut off in the second bullet under The Explainer. A cliffhanger!
