@NanoBookReview so this reminds me, when I talk to my professor friends, they often have philosophical disagreements about whether you should teach the material in a way that is a bit false, but easier to understand and more accessible, or absolutely correct, even if it's a little harder for the students to grasp.

Personally, I side with that second option, that a teacher should always teach true things, even if the student has to work a little harder to wrap their mind around it.

So same thing here. I want activists to stick to hard and legitimate comparison, and avoid exaggeration for the sake of impact.

Just my personal take, but I feel like in the larger picture that might even be healthier for the interest that the activist is pursuing.
