I really like this thread.
This is something I've long wondered about. How can you know that you don't know something. How could Bob and Carl become wise enough to understand their situation and get to a point where one would give more information adn one would ask for more information before consent. Is it only experience? Are Carl and Bob doomed to fail and get another chance with someone else (and possibly repeat their mistakes then)?
Would better awareness on poly in general prevent Bobs and Carls from going through this again and again?
In terms of the Bob and Carl situation, both are at fault. One didn't give enough information to achieve informed consent and one didn't ask for enough information to give informed consent.
