I use named ranges to semantically label relevant cells or ranges, and then use those labels in the formula. It's much easier to read and construct formulas when you don't have to think about where a value exists in the worksheet.

If you recategorize it as fruits vs non-fruits, it makes sense. Edible parts of plants that grow below ground and do not contain seeds? Not a fruit. Plastic children's toy? Not a fruit.

School officials make the dubious claim that "the technology has detected dozens of imminent threats of suicide or violence."

Oh, really? Do they have data that shows a significant reduction in violence since surveillance started, or is this just reframing false positives (that can result in arrest, eight weeks of house arrest, a psychological evaluation and 20 days at an alternative school) as a net benefit. My money is on the latter.

Overcommunication is a failure to provide appropriate context, with a side of bad delegation and overinvestment in process.

Without context, manager communication is noise. It's a waste of everyone's time and is functionally sabotage because it disempowers people. Worse, the problem can compound itself when a team gets demotivated and the manager tries to solve "lack of ownership" by spending even more time trying to direct behavior.

Good managers give their team appropriate context and tools, and then trust the process. Good organizations train and support managers in doing that.
