When answers are elusive, we often become frustrated that we can’t find them. That can be especially aggravating when the sought-after solutions are meant to address particularly difficult questions.

Most of us can probably appreciate and relate to that kind of fervor, happy for the individual’s obviously ardent zeal.

Regrettably, however, based on what I saw, I was largely disappointed with this event, which has given me pause to think about whether I will attend again next year.
