There are places in the world with a standard practice of forever plots.

For example, I don't think it's common in NZ for plots to be a time period before disinterment.

Any hyper focused group, especially one that has an excluded "other", will form a totem idea of that other and unreasonably become extremely against that totem. So hate spirals out of control. This occurs on either ends of the political spectrum. It can happen with sports teams vs their rivals.

CGP Grey made a video a number of years ago explaining such things better. https://youtu.be/rE3j_RHkqJc.

Bear in mind he's doing it with a very specific performance characteristic in mind, and not as a standard EV conversion.

Perhaps more accurate would be the Hummer conversion by Jerry Rig Everything and iirc EV Doctor channels.

But in general, same stuff involved.
