but if you do it right, fish from a small pond will do just fine in a lake- the saying doesn’t mean you’re completely free, just in a much larger fishbowl.
Faulty analysis. She never said anything about lake fish going to the sea.
What she mentioned was “big fish in a small pond to taking our first tentative steps into a larger world”. Or for the edited highlights: “fish … first steps”.
Which is either a terribly mixed metaphor, or she’s saying that they’re evolving.
Also, leadcrayon is quite correct. A sizable part of my childhood was spent within a literal stone’s throw (provided one has a fairly powerful throwing arm) of a saltwater lake, and plenty of the species that inhabited it could also be found in the ocean.
fish in a lake would die in the sea, the general metaphor is a lot crueler then you would think
