This reminds me of my young son recently. He was standing beside his friend who was playing a tennis game with the Apple TV remote. The remote had come flying out of her hand on a full swing, and cracked the TV screen.
"Did you throw it?"
"No! Tilly did!"
"Did you bump her when she was swinging?"
"No!"
"Did you touch her at all?"
"No!" (he's holding a tiny 80s troll figurine in his hand)
"Did the troll toy touch her while you were holding it?"
"Yes..."
My kids are letter of the law literal too. It's hard not to smile at the wrong time.
This reminds me of mobile robots I do cartography and "city planning" for. You can draw all kinds of complicated road networks of one-ways and no-gos and speed limits but the robot will still find that little sliver between two polys and barrel down it at full speed going the wrong way.
Although I haven't been able to fact-check this myself, I honestly have no idea why you're being downvoted.
Compressed gas pepperball markers is also something used in riot control. I'm not very familiar with guns and all, but I wouldn't be surprised that
1) the two have different intended uses and different intended ranges;
2) one hurts more than the other (though I don't know which one).
factfindingisfn's statement is either factually correct or factually wrong. But I saw him downvoted with no explanation. As of this writing, the other comment in this thread doesn't seem to address the factual claim at all.
