“Going through the motions” is what I use. I think, in a poetic moment, I might have said something about mimicking shadow puppets. I’m not comfortable with cargo cult either, but even if you are turns out it isn’t a well enough known reference to be useful.

If something is worth doing for free, it’s worth doing nerd-out obsessively-compulsively for free.

“Free” implies the purest kind of surplus leisure energy. It should be unshackled from ordinary ROI thinking. You’ve *already* accepted zero returns. So why hold back?
My mate has just seen the Chernobyl documentary. He actually grew up in Ukraine in the 1980’s and was able to count at least 8 historical inaccuracies on one hand.

I’ve read about LSD being given to just about any animal you can think of: snails, fish, dogs, cats, elephants, spiders, guinea pigs. I didn’t think I could be surprised any more, but today I came across the delightful experiments of Heinz Lehmann, who gave LSD to dandelions.
