Polarizing toward harmony in one fine, strong, moment of inspiration

[Sirius]

You have heard that if you put a frog in a pan with cold water and slowly turn up the heat it wont move and it will get cooked, then putting it into immediately hot water it will jump out. I think the same applies, too much of a sudden change can cause great shock to the system.

Maybe to know you flock of birds analogy, they do split up and go awary and then come to follow a predominant bird who knows the new direction?
