What do they call the kind of fishing where you drop a bait in the water and just pull it behind the boat hoping for bites? You drop something in that looks like it might be real, but isn't. You know, like an opinion stated as a fact but it really isn't a fact. So you drop a fake bait in the water and you keep pulling it through the water as far as you can go. The fish keep rising to take the bait while the fisherman is just having a blast.
This feels like that. Whatever that's called, it feels like that's what this is.
If only I could remember.
