    You’re just dealing with literal definition versus an inferred result, however you know this, you literally chose to deconstruct it in your original comment.

    Laymans use imperfect allegories, that doesn’t make them incorrect. If the message’s intent is clear to imply that the only correct interpretation is the literal one is just bad faith.

      It’s not laymen, it’s a journalist. Their job is to accurately describe the truth.

        No it’s their job to accurately communicate the effects to their readers, which they did.
