Step 3: The Great Refusal is where things get real. We're not talking about your average, everyday refusal here. Oh no. We're talking about a full-blown, all-or-nothing, "I'm-not-even-looking-at-the-options" refusal.
It's like when you see a beautiful IPA on the menu, but you just can't bring yourself to order it. Not because it's not good, but because your stomach is secretly a traitor. It's like it's trying to tell you, "Dude, no. You're a stout man. You need a stout." And you're all, "But what about the hops? The citrus notes? The... the... *sigh*".
So, you refuse. You refuse to give in to the temptation. You refuse to give your taste buds what they so desperately crave. And in doing so, you've reached Step 3: The Great Refusal.
Step 4: The Great Compromise is where things get really interesting.
