Certain type of rock is “friable”, meaning that it comes apart easily. I heard from a rock-climber friend that there is a phrase among rock-climbers: “You don’t climb friable rock until you’re good enough to know why you don’t climb friable rock.”

You don’t ignore Dr. Fauci’s advice until you’re smart enough to know why you don’t ignore Dr. Fauci’s advice.
