Sometimes they were simply dimwitted.
On the other hand, I would at times use this false correlation/cause type of scenario to imply a result that really did not exist. This was usually used in sales and advertising.

I'm leaning towards misinformed because they are lazy. We no longer live in a vetted news cycle, the interwebs has filled the public space with e-pinions from individuals who's goal is not to become a credible information source, but rather to generate the most clicks. What was once space pretty much owned by The National Enquirer is now around every click and scroll and societies gullibility has increased 100 fold.
The whole run=win has been going on here for years albeit in a slightly different form.. Remember 'Ingram needs more carries to run well'? Just the slightest bit of critical thought about that statement should lead you to at least one assumptions if it is true. Ingram will never run well in the first or third quarters because he has not had time to build the mythical 'rhythm'...
Yes, the boiling water in the red kettle is 212F. The water is not 212F because the kettle is red lol. :dunce: |
