    People of different background have more chance to have a bigger diversity of point of view. You may not be able to guess the background of a single commenter, but you can spot things missing. Also, I wasn’t actually thinking about race, but gender identities and sexual orientations as well.

            Ah “skosh”…I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it in writing, but my first mentor at my first career job used it all the time. Every amount of distance under a foot (in a structural discipline) was a skosh of some sort.

            Just a bit of a skosh, a slight skosh…a good healthy skosh…

            Brought back a good memory there.

              Fun fact, “skosh” comes from the occupation of Japan after WWII, from Japanese “sukoshi” ‘a little bit’.
