Too early
Being misunderstood early isn’t a flaw. It’s a signal.
If everyone gets it right away, you probably didn’t choose anything.
You rounded the edges. You borrowed familiar language. You made it easy to agree with.
That’s not clarity. That’s camouflage.
The work that matters often looks wrong at first. Too narrow. Too quiet. Too specific. Too early.
So people question it. They mislabel it. They suggest improvements.
That’s the tax.
If no one pushes back, nothing has changed.
