    That was clearly in jest, which should be obvious if someone also read: > Maybe not in that exact framework, but basically, (...) Doesn't exactly require the height of media literacy to grasp I'd say. But maybe GP's comment above does, and I'm just missing their clever wordsmithing skills along with many others apparently.
