Think of it like a six lane highway that has gotten over-trafficked by
shipping trailors.  The rest of the autos need to get to work and
various other commutes, but the clog of the commercial semis has
become unbearable.  Enter the civil traffic engineer.  A new road is
constructed with a slightly different path that cuts underneath the
highway.  Commercial shipping vehicles are routed there.  Four-wheel
traffic stays on the main highway.  Traffic congestion is alleviated. 
Everyone gets to their destination expediently.

The split is about the din of announcements drowning out the
discussion and clogging the highway.

I don't plan to.
