Doesn’t really line up with your comment, but perhaps you’re talking about a different article?

okay, i misremembered. for me it’s like i was wrong about an onion article

[rosndo]

You misremembered to such an extent that the article actually said the exact opposite of what you thought it did?

Impressive.

[valyagolev]

if i write an article saying “is elon musk alien?.. no” it would be reasonable to say that i wrote an article about him being an alien. it’s not their conclusion that is idiotic, it’s the hypothesis itself

I think you’re just failing to comprehend what you’re reading. Nobody is suggesting that this would have a dramatic impact.

During my time in the military I was in the armored brigade, muddy conditions of the spring really sucked.

Nobody thinks that this would lose Russia the war, but it’s still a kind of a pain in the ass.
