The soggy feeling one gets from lines sometimes comes directly from the line passing through a point which isn’t wearing its hat.
Hats can be not worn through ignorance or through neglect. Many times hats are
accepted not to help a group but “to have an opportunity to’’ Like an
MD who studies medicine to “make money” or “to obtain better opportunities with women.” So one has two reasons to wear a hat — (a) to do a job, (b) to have an opportunity to do something else.
When a hat is not worn for any reason at all, one gets a breakdown at that point. We call this a “camouflaged hole.” Somebody has a title but doesn’t do the duties or actions that go with it.
That is the soggy feeling’s cause, the unworn hat. A group that cannot or does not snap and pop and get on top of it has some members in it who aren’t wearing their hats.
The most common reason why hats aren’t worn is because they are not known.
