If I say I made a cake 'from scratch' (idiom: 'from nothing'), do you quibble that flour and eggs were indeed used, and that they are clearly not 'nothing'?

- kyro 17y agoMentioning how you made a cake from scratch and linking to a video of seemingly scientific research claiming an event to happen out of nowhere and for no apparent reason are two completely different things, due to the two completely different contexts.
- tlrobinson 17y agoI think his point was that we all understand that "out of nowhere" doesn't mean "magically", at some level it has to be the drivers' fault. The video doesn't even say "out of nowhere", it says "for no apparent reason".
