But that's not the same as with the oblate spheroid, so don't be apologetic about it.
The oblate spheroid has all these toys and gizmos simply because she has an obsessive compulsion to "be the first to know," to "be on the inside of things."
She's just a nosy old busybody, trying to get the lowdown on things that aren't any concern of hers.
By the way, "snoop" in Dutch means "to eat on the sly," for whatever that's worth, and that fits the oblate spheroid to a "t" too.
