Your description of the oil analysts and the Strait of Hormuz reminds me of the poem by John Godfrey Saxe, The Blind Man and the Elephant. It is worth a read and reflection https://allpoetry.com/The-Blind-Man-And-The-Elephant.

There's great wisdom in poetry, no? Thanks for a timely recycling of that classic!

I'm hoping that someday, someone will think my poetry offered some wisdom :)

Hey, there are already some of us who think that! Matching up poetry with financial analysis is a brilliant move, no lie.

So good. I have heard the story but never seen the poem. Thanks
