You don't see the difference between pervasive and intractable?


you don't see the difference between pervasive and literally in every single workplace of a given profession?


Pervasive means present or noticeable in every part of a thing or place.[1]

the basic idea that anything could be literally, explicitly 100% "pervasive" at literally every place in the entire world regardless of culture is so far beyond ridiculous it's nowhere even near entertaining, and the sheer delusion in making such a statement, including explicitly doubling down on any chance of doubt or wiggle room, is so far beyond the pale that it's just plain silly, and can only be made by someone who has minimal life experience and is extrapolating said limited life experience to the whole world
