The fact is, that some people are visual learners. And it is going to be more painful than therapeutic to watch their learning curves rise.

The reality is, that when they do recognize what they did, they are going to think that no one told them and there was no way to predict such a negative outcome. And then, they will pick a leader they believe in, who will probably tell them everything that we've been telling them.
