I didn’t say it was spontaneous, I said it was poorly planned and researched.

Things can be initiated well in advance but poorly planned and researched. For example, here is Cunard’s plans for solar eclipse cruises.

Two of them are at port, which defeats the whole idea behind an eclipse cruise which is mobility. One of them is ported in Iceland with crummy weather prospects and short duration. And they even suggest watching the eclipse with sunglasses!😱
