X is connected to Y is the sneaky way that headlines say "X is Y" without technically saying X is Y
This way if X actually is Y they can say they called it, but if X is not Y, then they weren't incorrect
- dllthomas 13y agoI see that it could be used that way, I guess, but I don't think it's an appropriate interpretation. If X actually is Y then there is a connection, and they deserve some credit, just less than if they'd said "X is Y". If X is not Y then they "weren't incorrect" because they weren't incorrect, so parent is incorrect to label them as such. If X is not Y and there is some other interesting connection, they were correct and deserve just as much credit as if the two wind up shown to be the same person.
