Easy. A "statement" can't be wrong, but a "prediction" of the future must be built on a predictive model that has worked in the past, and the model must be fed parameters rooted in reality. Failing that, it is wrong.
If Trump's statement about fraud is not predictive, then it is fiction and meaningless instead of wrong.
- koheripbal 6y agoIf all policitians' twitter accounts required that all their statements submitted a "predictive model" to reinforce their tweet - then at least your argument would make logical sense. In this case, it just seems like Twitter disagrees with him. They aren't really arguing facts.
