Is this one of those clues where we can't determine if the definition is on the left or right?
Guardian's = ANGEL
incorrect (anagram)
Approach = ANGLE

Interesting you should glean that perspective.

GLEAN = anagram for ANGEL
PERSPECTIVE = synonym for ANGLE I noticed the perspective/angle synonym and briefly considered that it was a LR indicator. But it would make an even better rorschach technique. If you could devise some carefully designed clues with multiple answers, over a period of time the answers given by your opponents would reveal their characteristics depending on which answer they found.

I would have thought you'd have applauded his quip - then I realized: small hands.

I’m a bit angry I couldn’t go, since this makes 15 years in a row now.

How about this
My wifes Surface Pro 4 worked perfectly yesterday
Today the type cover ( physical keyboard ) no longer works
It's not visible in Device manager
Tried rebooting
Reset to defaults ( basically re installs Win 10 )
Nada
Googling tells me thousands of people are affected by this
What a piece of expensive crap

Sounds like a hardware problem, not Windows 10? 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

No the keyboard works on my other Surface and I've tried another keyboard on it that I know works

I've been getting lots of BSODs on my work machine since updating, updates are completely out of my control and will give me 15 minutes notice of a computer restart.

Fixed that for you. I was in the middle of working when Microsoft decided enough was enough, it's time for you to reboot and install the update. I dislike the lawyers that like to go with class action lawsuits, but I think there is merit for a suit in this case for the stupidity of the automatic reboots and lost time and code.
Honestly, based on the griping I see from surface users, I just don't understand how MS can keep selling them.

This makes me think of a book I bought when it came out, 20+ years ago - Matt Ridley: The Origins of Virtue[^]. I understand that it has since become a classic in the field.
I certainly enjoy how he starts out with very primitive simulation models, with actors of varying degrees of greediness and trust, as pure mathematical / algorithmic concepts devoid of any kind of "moral" or "politics", showing how pure greediness and egoism and distrust is most counterproductive, regardless of ethics and ideals.
Then he moves gradually up "the biological ladder", observing manifestations of the successful behaviour patterns in the primitive simulation models in higher organisms.
Ridley's book is certainly not the only one in its field, and approach. "The Selfish Gene" is a predecessor in the the same line of thought, and there are many others. But "The Origins of Virtue" is written in a fascinating, easy to read style. I really should dig it up an re-read it soon!

Ok, I'm gonna check that book out.

I experienced a serious violation of trust a few weekends ago. I thought the whole band had committed ourselves to playing a gig. I showed up, waited for an hour, called them up, and found out they were just getting loaded up. I left the gig and left the band right then and there.

 When will the ivory tower people realize that game theory has very little to do with trust.

It might have nothing to do (and I agree) but it has been used to visually explain some pretty good points in an easy way.
