The WPC now wants the registration fee. I explained that 3/4 submissions had disappeared. Immediately I was reassured that all four were part of the program. Of course that is not so because I operate from the second philosophy. They cognitively deny their existence. And manually delete them to avoid cognitive dissonance. This is on the systemic level, not the individual level.
Since I told them all four will reappear. The craziness is not on them.
… so, what will happen next?
