I debated the fallacy of SSM with a Borg Supervisor Drone when they implemented it in our area, and all he could counter with was anecdote, and ultimately cut off the discussion with, "Well, it's policy now, and you have to follow it."
My reply: "Only an EMS supervisor could believe it is possible to cut three inches off the bottom of a blanket and sew it to the top, and somehow make the blanket longer."
