The truth is...
The Bubblebee bat is the smallest mammal, smaller than the length of a human hair.

#TruthBeTold = A statement that is logically or literally true (or partly true), but seems to imply something that isn’t true or is just plain weird. (for rhetoric, logic or propaganda studies… or just for fun)

@Pat Well, it does involve non-trivial concepts, and you chose a method of description that is not focussed on simple and efficient knowledge transfer. This is not to critizise you, i found it interesting to chew on the concept a bit until i understood.

Thank you for the feedback. Yeah, the point is not merely to transfer information, but to demonstrate how facts can get distorted using a variety of techniques -- to help people develop their critical reasoning skills. Sometimes the topics are very simple and sometimes they are fairly esoteric. #TruthBeTold
(I actually am able to clearly and concisely explain stuff, e.g., https://qoto.org/@Pat/109394366249181461)

@Pat Ha, i did not mean to question your abilities. Sorry if it came off this way!
I 100% thought you chose a way to relay information that was indirect for a good reason and accept that. Art is art, and we would be deprived of quite some sensation if we only communicated on blank logic.

Not all, I always appreciate the feedback.

I don't know. I'll let know when I'm on a machine that can play videos.

@Pat Thank you for entertaining my curious quirks :-)

Yeah, I don't think I've done a very good job explaining the concept of the #TruthBeTold series. I think most folks don't understand what they are or why I do them.
