For years, scientists thought that asparagus made only SOME PEOPLE's urine smell, because some folks reported that it didn't. This is an example of why it's so important to ASK THE RIGHT QUESTION.

People read those as "Nazis are better than leftists" posts but they're actually "Nazis are better [at recruiting] than leftists" posts.
I do think she interprets the negative attention she receives from communicating poorly as a signal that she’s doing something right, though, and it only encourages her to keep generating engagement by being deliberately obtuse. I don’t assume she’s doing it “on purpose” though

That would be a sphere with a diameter of 6 billion miles.

Guys, I say this as a lifelong fan of Science Fiction.
