I can't claim that "I knew all about it all along," but the blanket deployment of deeply intrusive behavioral science methodology was obvious to me and anyone else with even the faintest of interest in the subject, by the end of the first month of lockdown.
The "who" and the "how" were fairly obvious fro the beginning, but the "why" (beyond the usual self-interest) was not.
It is only by virtue of you and a small army of kindred spirits digging into the minutiae, that we are now beginning to understand some of the details pointing the way to "why."
Many thought they had it nailed down right from the beginning, but what they had were speculative hypotheses, not verified facts in a sufficiency from which to draw unequivocal conclusions.
We're not even halfway through the experiment at this point.
