    Yeah, I think, we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. I know, I’m on the extreme side with never having liked such a ceremony. I think, it’s because I simply stop feeling represented with the kind of generic speech you get when addressing more than a dozen people, because I guess, I’m just too special of a snowflake…

        No, that’s not a generic speech to me. In that case, you’re motivating a specific political issue and trying to convince anyone who’s still on the fence. Contentious political issues have always been excluded from the ceremony speeches I attended.
