Thanks. Exactly what I was going for. Informed is much better than ignorant, and one is doomed to repeat mistakes if you are not informed.

This pandemic is not over, in fact, we don't know where or how it might turn. To not inform yourself how others are playing this is being an ostrich.

Comparisons after the fact, we do that all the time. Every time another airline gets a contract, we compare all sorts of metrics.

We use this information to see if maybe we can do better in another situation. To say otherwise, is not prudent.
