Since the "sand" is an irritant, wouldn’t this step only serve the purpose of eliminating it? | |
| Aug 4, 2022 at 19:29 | comment | added | Makoto | Hard disagree @BeKind. There are a lot of places that people can ask questions. Even those questions. Ever hear of Yahoo Answers? Quora? Reddit? Run-of-the-mill forums? There's so much sand that we don't know what to do with it. In an ironic way, the irritant that produces the pearl in this case - in your view the question - is what creates the pearl in the first place. | |

This may be true in the majority of the cases, but I don’t think we can create a blanket generalisation. You can find some question "pearls" here - I got ninety-nine problems - so here's another one!, Pearl Dive. | |
