Remember: the word vector will become more prevalent over the new few months.
Just say the word out loud; even in a whisper. Vector.
Look it up. It will let [tHey] know we will have taken one of their tools away from them.

Judges 16:23-30
Amplified Bible

23 Now the Philistine lords gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to celebrate, for they said,
“Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands!”

24 When the people saw Samson, they praised their god, for they said,
“Our god has handed over our enemy to us,
The ravager of our country,
Who has killed many of us.”

25 Now when they were in high spirits, they said, “Call for Samson, so that he may amuse us.” So they called Samson out of the prison, and he entertained them. They made him stand between the pillars.

26 Then Samson said to the boy who held him by the hand, “Let me feel the pillars on which the [roof of the] house rests, so that I may lean against them.”

27 Now the house was full of men and women; all the Philistine lords were there, and on the flat roof were about three thousand men and women who looked on while Samson was entertaining them.
Samson Is Avenged

28 Then Samson called to the Lord and said, “O Lord God, please remember me and please strengthen me just this one time, O God, and let me take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes.”

29 Samson took hold of the two middle [support] pillars on which the house rested, and braced himself against them, one with his right hand and the other with his left.

30 And Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” And he stretched out with all his might [collapsing the support pillars], and the house fell on the lords and on all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he had killed during his life.

black swan event, high-impact event that is difficult to predict under normal circumstances but that in retrospect-appears to have been inevitable.

A black swan event is unexpected and therefore difficult to prepare for but is often rationalized with the benefit of hindsight as having been unavoidable.

The earliest known reference to the term black swan occurs in the Roman poet Juvenal’s poem Satire VI, in which he describes potential qualities of a woman worthy of marriage.

His line “rara avis in terris, nigroque simillima cygno” translates to “a rare bird in the world, very similar to the black swan.”

At the time, black swans were presumed not to exist.
All swans were presumed to be white because all historical records of swans showed them with white feathers.

The term black swan was thus used to describe any impossible event or circumstance.

But in 1697 the Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh encountered swans with dark plumage in Australia, a land largely unexplored by Europeans at that time.

The black swan thus came to be a metaphor for the reality that just because something has not happened does not mean that it cannot occur in the future.

The metaphor is analogous to the fragility of any system of thought and a testament to the fallacy of assumption.

A set of conclusions can be undone once any of its fundamentals is proved false.

In this case, the observation of a single black swan negated the long-held presumption about the species.

Any logic that followed the assumption that swans must be white was also invalidated by the discovery.
