    People be like “we don’t know if that exact quote is how it happened”. Duh! We don’t know if anything of that story even happened we don’t even know if the tweeter is a human or a cat.

    However it makes no sense to assume part of the story to be true and a different part not. You either for a discussion assume it to be true or not.

    For other discussion not about the situation it may make sense to only assume part of the story. But this is rarely the case.

      You had me in the first paragraph but I call bullshit on the second. However you won me back with the third.

      Yeah it feels like something from Seinfeld. Many things on TV are fiction but it doesn’t mean it’s not funny. Or isn’t analogous to real life scenarios that we can talk about now.

      Whether or not anything described actually happened is irrelevant.
