Maybe the reason why everything was so convoluted and messed up was because The Room Where It Happened looked something like this…
No one really knows how the game is played
The art of the trade
How the sausage gets made
We just assume that it happens
But no one else is in the room where it happens

When I think about that room, I think about the film "The Shining" and the axe murderer.
