Hmmm. I don't think I agree with that. It's such a polarized and emotional debate. It could really benefit from being precise with words.

Making everything sound just slightly worse than it is will help rile up the side that feels slighted and it will let the other side just pass the speaker off as a liar. The result is fewer shared facts, more polarization and a more emotional debate.

The truth of war is bad enough. It doesn't need to be stretched.
