I mean "pointless" in a scientific way. It does not matter could you replicate, check or verify that stories, and I doubt anybody want to. Sometimes you just need somebody who will listen that and empathize/support you. That is the main purpose of that stories. Empathy, reminder, support, etc. Not the information or exact details. But the wistleblower stories, like the one mentioned here, have completely different purpose - to share the infomation, not to meditate on how your life fucked and on that you are not alone.
That is the contradiction I find very interesting and disturbing. Some storytelling in the circle of witnesses of something unusual instead of providing information useful for further unraveling of the mistery.
I'm glad you find enough will and friends to abandon the thing that destroyed you, but here we want to do something completely different - not to abandon, but to get as close as possible to study and research all that things they hide from us.
