  • If you have a thousand papercuts, you can still be in terrible pain, even with no singular source of all of that pain.
    • You're in pain and you don't even realize you're in pain.
      • This is just what you're used to feeling like, you don't even realize it could be different.
    • But if you used a tool that didn't have those papercuts, you wouldn't start using it for getting rid of any individual papercut, but once you started using it you'd never want to stop.
    • You wouldn't start to use a service to get rid of a papercut, but you'd also never start a service that is like what you already use but that gives you lots of papercuts.
