Anything is true if you define the terms contrary to their meaning.

So when you read "water bankruptcy", you assumed it meant a legal process where the world can apply to a court to have its water debt annulled and start again?
This really made me laugh, but at the same time "water bankruptcy" doesn't mean anything before this statement but bankruptcy did. The term was chosen to give the same kind of emotional reaction as bankruptcy
wait, is that why "humanity" redefines and reinterprets words and meanings all the time?
Good thing that isn't what happened with this sensible definition. What part of that definition do you object to?
