Scoliosis normally is caused by a growth spurt before puberty but I fear Candy Cane Neck will be striking adults too.

They’re not examples, but they are stories. With a twist. So, as I’ve said many times, simulations are just a manipulable model of the world. And a motivated, self-capable learner can learn from them.
