Imagine a person with two different sized feet...
one is a normal sized foot and the other is enormously huge, grossly huge, freakishly huge.
Now imagine that person has to have to special shoes to be made. one for the normal foot and one for the over-sized cartoon foot.
Further imagine that person has had a long day and their feet are really tired. They decide to take off their shoes...in a crowded room. The first one this person takes off and drops on the floor has a curious name. This person named this normal sized shoe "Carbon".
And so it drops on the floor. Some people in the room were first bothered by the fact that this person chose to take off their shoes in a public place, but when this first shoe hit the floor, only a few concerned people noticed and politely said something to the offending shoe remover.
Now, the person is unlacing the second shoe. The bizarrely over-sized monster shoe. This shoe has a name as well, it's called, "Methane".
As the shoe wearing begins the slow process of untying the gigantic laces, not only are the first people who noticed the carbon shoe drop complaining, but other people, the less interested people have actually turned their head in the direction of the potentially life threatening social faux pas.
And when this shoe finally hits the ground, those who didn't complain, will complain the loudest.
