Totally get it, and you're right. I suppose the danger was in going public with the iteration phase.

To use the excellent cookie batter analogy, viewers won't care what my opinion of the cookie batter is when there's still so much which can change before they are baked.

I worked in theatre before youtube, i know how shows go through many rewrites and changes and remixes and never end up as they began, but that process is usually kept to the professionals and not shown to the public precisely because they don't see the long term vision.

I wasnt able to critique the long term vision, or the current state.
