Yeah, I think this is the hardest part because in some cases, examining the actual facts does make me feel better. But in this case, if it does turn out to be 10% but the bad feeling doesn't go away, I'm going to feel like a jerk. Also, it's impossible to compare to the past at this point, which is when it felt like we had more real conversations, but I have no data from it because back then I didn't have any reason to track it.
