Do you have a reference for that? I'd like to read / view it.

I believe this is a reference to Emmett’s Sept 16 [1] post on X:

> I specifically say I’m in favor of slowing down, which is sort of like pausing except it’s slowing down.

> If we’re at a speed of 10 right now, a pause is reducing to 0. I think we should aim for a 1-2 instead.

It's almost like they live in a vacuum where there's not a nation in particular with essentially infinite resources and smart people like them that will immediately capitalize on these delays.

With the rate employees are ditching they may well see that factor of 10% as some upper bound or a goal to strive for.
