CV30. Methodology: Had a power outage yesterday which took down the internet and prevented me from finishing collection. Though a nuisance it is unlikely that something critical was missed. Critical items tend to be repeated in media, and with familiarity with what is reported there are clues that something did happen, or happened between reports, or likely will happen but were not reported in PDN. One can research for these. PDN despite being overwhelming is not intended to be comprehensive about every aspect of CV Human Behaviors. When filling in these gaps one should take care to note the difference between what should be there and what happens. If one only looks for what is logical with humans one is likely to miss things.
