Iowa Democrats Should Have Known Better Than to Use an App

Agreed. It's a little frustrating to watch, like people trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Especially when you know how pegs are built, and that most of them are filled with cracks that make them fragile under good circumstances, and extremely vulnerable in worse ones. And when round pegs are totally fine for the situation, and have been around for a long time, and can be used intuitively by anyone that wants to double check the geometry of the hole.

My analogy is breaking down. But certainly agreed.

Tangentially related fun fact: square pegs fitted in round holes is a traditional way of doing things when building log cabins/houses. They actually fit pretty well and are faster to make than perfectly fitting round ones with simple tools.

I realize it’s a trade off but imagine that adhesion is they just used round pegs.
