There is a segment of the population who will never switch parties under any circumstances. They are the partisans. They are easily recognizable because their opinions always somehow match the platform of the party (which is silly, because a party platform is of necessity a compromise between people with different desires).
I've seen many people switch parties in my life
These people were not party loyalists. Note that not all party loyalists are braindead: some of them get real benefit from being loyalists, and they are thus making a rational decision. (That said, they are hard to have an interesting conversation with).

You probably never even had access to an airline lounge until some recent credit card perk. And it's excessive credit card perks that has created the need for private terminals.
They're overrated. Sitting at the airport eating mediocre "free" food and reading newspapers? Then walking a long distance to the terminal before the flight leaves...
Unless the airport lounge is right next to your terminal, or unless you really REALLY like being told you are special, credit card lounges are overrated.

It's related to the clock problem.
If you ask a neural network to recognize "A" then all As will be tokenized the same way, so it's will be able to recognize it as well as anything else.

Is it kind of revolutionary that they solved context-sensitivity with long-range proximate word counts?
It's not even clear what you are trying to say.
