Ya, sadly while this is cute it is not in fact true.

Fair enough, like most matters of language I suppose it’s ultimately subjective and comes down to differences in personal interpretations. Specific context and perspectives will always have the potential change things but by and large I stand by my point in general application.

A bit of both in my non-expert but local understanding.

I mean, you should be slowing down at least a bit when passing someone pulled over on the side of the road anyways, no? Just like going through a construction zone. It really depends on how much braking we’re talking about.

Ya, a bit, I guess. I just don’t think talking down to someone is ever really a good way to communicate (unless the interaction is in fact adversarial and that’s the whole point). That being said I suppose I also get that sometimes it’s desirable to express exasperation, even if it’s not constructive or polite.

I completely agree with what you mean, but I would argue it is actually quite simple just not easy. People often talk about the two like they’re the same but it’s important to remember that at times simple things can be quite hard and complicated things may still be easy.
