i learned recently that this is a false premise; the frogs will get out when the water gets too warm for them. which imo makes its proliferation even more apt; it makes sense that they would, but we've so used to the narrative that we keep this factoid going without questioning it.

People don't like the things they believe to be challenged, and many people fail to recognize what is a belief and what is a fact.
It's the problem with knowing enough to not know how little you actually do (know).

i think its a good way to illustrate how 'they' change things for the worse incrementally so we get used to it. and not much else, it does its job.

not only that imo, with this extra layer it serves to illustrate how the complacency is not innate. everybody has a breaking point, but we have been told that we will just take it if it is gradual enough.
