It is already too hot out. Here’s some good advice from Holger Czukay, a founding member of Can.

Here are two statements culled from New York Times and reduced to their logical components.
“When A did X to B, A tortured B.”
“B did X to C.”

Can we rightly conclude that the New York Times believes that B tortured C? (Even though the Times consistently refrains from making that statement?)

Journalist Andrew Sullivan has a more detailed explanation with actual understandable words, instead of indecipherable variables that obfuscate the matter at hand. Thank you to Andrew Sullivan.
