Yes, this is something we haven't done before. Yes, it looks different than before. Repeat slowly after me while breathing in-and-out deeply: "New stuff is not a threat...New stuff is not a threat...New stuff is not a threat..."
Fell better? Good job!!!
I don't care if you repeat this, or how fast, if you do. New is not a trump card that replaces reasoned discourse and decisions, and new is not superior or automatically better, simply by virtue of its newness, no matter how special the originators think it is.
I actually agree with you. New is not necessarily bad or good...it is just new. But the reaction by many has been that new = bad/threatening. My point wasn't new = automatically good, but that New = New. That is all.
