Do you mainly control pitch with the tuning slide or the valves on those instruments? I think you mainly control pitch with the valves and only supplement with a tuning slide for certain notes, depending on the instrument, and therefore the

It sounds like your point is that people should be willing to give up their privacy in return for the chance of detecting (not preventing) violent crimes. I think it's also disingenuous (or at best, completely naive) to pretend like ha

Ask it. Instead of just telling it what you're doing and expecting it to criticize that, ask it directly for criticism. Even better, tell it what you're doing, then tell it to ask you questions about what you're doing until i
