I love this kind of analysis of social phenomenon The kind of analysis that sounds vaguely plausible but is completely unprovable and probably wrong?

- Mz 14y agoIt sounds more than "vaguely" plausible to me. And, given that his father was there and able to make first hand observations about the phenomenon -- a phenomenon he had some vested interest in paying attention to -- I don't know why you would assume it is probably wrong. Possibly wrong? Sure. But probably? Why would you think that?
- evincarofautumn 14y agoSure. It’s a charming kind of wrongness, like a false etymology, or an eggcorn.
