In this thread, I’m speaking instead to people who are maybe a degree or two removed from the schools, or maybe in the thick of them, truly wishing to find the good choices here, and honestly tangled up in knots by these tarpit words: “neutral,” “comfortable.”

Neither of those words means exactly what you think it means. Neither means just one thing. Neither is unidimensional. Neither is free of hidden baggage.

If you can sift through all that, it’s not as intractable as it seems.
