Proof of stupidity

I like when it’s easy to prove stupidity in such a clear, conclusive way:

These is one of those emails that are floating about. In this case I’ve read some accusations that “Democrats are manipulating the mails.” To fabricate evidence against Trump.

So I’ve taken the image of that image at full size, and had to squint for a while. Because the accusation is that these are two different e-mails, but I just couldn’t figure out why. Maybe “Jee” had been typed as “Jeee” with one extra “e”? But nope, everything looked exactly the same. So I just couldn’t even understand what the accusation was based on.

Until I did. Those “jee” I’ve highlighted looks like “Jcc”, the “e” being turned into a “c”, a different letter.

So the accusation is that these aren’t actual documents, but something that has been written purposefully, and this is a proof of a mistake being made, because of replies to different email addresses.

But… It’s so easy to debunk.

Yes, those “ee” look like “cc”, in fact you can compare the “jee” with “vacation” and you can see the “e” is like the “c”. ALMOST equivalent, because the top tip of that “c” is rounded off, whereas it’s cut off on the “e”, if you squint. But this is not the final proof. The proof is that you can simply check the preceding “jeffrey” on that line, and see that, indeed, the “e” look like “c”. So a double mistake? Maybe? Well, if that still isn’t enough, you can also check the end of that line. “Wrote”, is indeed also written “Wrotc.” And then again, just below, “indicment was billed”, where each “e” indeed looks like a “c.”

Just a scaling issue.

More worrying, on both “sides,” is that absolutely no one cares about the truth. They all care about scoring points. They are all trying to win games. And we’ll all lose.
