MEME REFERENCE

Wait, It’s All

Use Wait, It’s All when a surprising discovery turns out to have been true from the beginning.

What it expresses

Revelation: the astronaut’s shocked question followed by the armed confirmation represents a moment where a surprising discovery turns out to have been true from the beginning.

Example

For example, the team learns that every new dashboard has always read from the same old spreadsheet; the visual analogy is the astronaut’s shocked question followed by the armed confirmation, signaling that a surprising discovery turns out to have been true from the beginning.

When not to use it

Avoid when the discovery is genuinely new or still uncertain; the astronaut’s shocked question followed by the armed confirmation would incorrectly signal that a surprising discovery turns out to have been true from the beginning.
