The thing is, Snopes is in the business of facts, not implications.

At least, I think they should be. I go there for fact checking, not for implication checking. I can make my own assumptions about implications. Implication is not rooted in fact.

Implications are just as real as facts--that is, not at all. The world runs on implications. This is what advertising is. We expect to be lied to daily.
