In elementary school, one of my classmates was hit by a car on his bicycle. He must have been about 9. His head went through the windshield.
He was fine.
The windshield was not fine. His helmet was not fine. The teacher had him bring in his mangled helmet to show the whole class. Nobody had to tell us he’d be dead if it weren’t for the helmet. It was obvious.
I still remember this vividly 40 years later.
I wear a helmet.

would it be unfair to some people who would have to resign even when it later comes to light that they’re innocent?
yes, but that absolutely doesn’t matter in any way—the chance that they’re guilty is a way bigger threat to the functioning of high offices and an ongoing distraction https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/115537904470408038

Like even if you're a joyless simulacrum of a real human, an empty husk filled with indifference—at the least consider the world your children and loved ones have to live in.
