If I may... I suspect quite a few of your comments have been downvoted for being a little—frenetic. In many ways, your work here (together with your previous work experience) speaks for itself, at least to those of us who get it.

Unfortunately, awareness-raising and solution-building are probably two entirely separate stages for this issue.

I’m used to a quick fire response format for legal questioning. My words are carefully chosen, but I do reply quickly because I played every question in my head in advance.

The dig on downvotes however was intentionally cheeky. I’m well respected by many engineers who worked with me, no hard feelings, just a little teasing.
