Shoot for the moon. If you miss, reload and fire again. The moon must be stopped at all costs.

security-bros be like: on one hand, meeting family is a good opportunity for key signing on the other hand, having a family is attack surface

BTW. This complicated thing about metadata is the main reason why I have misgivings about the "stories" in signal: they would create conversations between each of their users and ~all their contacts, which would show more of the social graph to anyone with ability to monitor what signal the service is doing.
