Yes, to the point that I am confused by the question. Could you explain why you (presumably) don't?

- croes 4y agoAdd one arm, what comes into your mind?
- marcellus23 4y agoThat’s a stretch.
- croes 4y agoSeems to be not a far one because you know what I mean.
- Dylan16807 4y agoIf you take a design with only a couple elements, and add a new one under someone's instructions, it's not hard to make it look like something else. It's definitely a stretch to say it already has a meaning. A circle with a line down the middle doesn't mean anything, but you can outline the bottom quarter slice and make it a peace sign. Or rotate it to make a no sign. Or take an equilateral triangle and overlap another rotated and it becomes a star of david.

- Dylan16807 4y agoI guess, but that just strengthens my point that being a simple adjustment away from a simple symbol doesn't mean you inherit any of its meaning.
- croes 4y agoIt's about people, the same kind of people who think the ok gesture means 666. If something reminds somebody of something it gets this meaning intended or not.
- Dylan16807 4y ago"I think this has a meaning as-is because of associations with this shape" is different from "this would have a meaning if you changed xyz, therefore it already has a meaning". I think the former makes a lot more sense than the latter. And your argument above was the latter.
