You are just not able to comprehend basic writing styles.

The author is a journalist and not the expert he is interviewing thats the first thing. So why would you even evaluate the journalists 'expertise' if you get the answers from the experts.

And secondly what he probalby meant was that what if this company can 'push out' all active lifecycle before they recycle them.

This is called a metapher.

If they can't precisely convey the intended meaning in written words, they shouldn't be a journalist.

Journalists write for an audiance which normally gets it.

You just might not be one of them.

And no no one needs to write everything so that everyone always gets it.

I for example do not write blog articles for kids. I also don't write very technical blog articles for people outside of tech.

> Journalists write for an audiance which normally gets it.

That's a bullshit justification. "It's factually wrong, but that's okay, the true audience knows what the author means anyway." Then why write it at all? It makes no sense. Stop making up excuses for clueless journalists.

Playing with words makes reading more fun.

'Discussing' this with you is really a downer.
