re: And in a critical environment, the stage managing doesn't play nearly as well. Instead of inspiring, it comes off as, well, faked. Which causes even more erosion in perception.

And in a critical environment, the stage managing doesn't play nearly as well. Instead of inspiring, it comes off as, well, faked. Which causes even more erosion in perception.
