It is the original title, it is a note and it's from the CEO. I think speaking and taking things literally should be the default.
- smacktoward 11y agoThis is like arguing that every brand of cereal should be labeled "Box of Cereal" because it is a box that contains cereal. It's possible for a label to be completely true and completely uninformative at the same time.
