Understanding lattice risks: Many differences between marketing and reality
I have a short new page giving general context for the following and links to further information, so I'll just jump straight into the specific topic here.
More:

TL;DR:
But the second sentence doesn't have this narrowing, and I think readers will understand the second sentence as talking about some sort of proactive protection.
