The irony is that the parent is stating a lot of inaccuracies or straight-up falsehoods, while ending with: > This is why as a journalist or a writer, it is important to confirm “what you know” before committing it to a piece. If you don’t verify everything you risk perpetuating myths instead of realities. I hazard to suggest the parent has not so much as read a biography of Van Gogh before posting such authoritative-sounding misinformation that is then silently edited to align with comments.
