Constants and Variables 18 / Inferred Intent
A new application of Polistra's Law of Inferred Intent.
The law: Pay no attention to words or descriptions or job titles. Pay attention to actions. Actions tell you what people want.
New application: As more "news" or "science" websites limit online comment more strictly, it becomes easier to determine which articles have some slight truth content and which are pure propaganda from government/culture/corporations.
When commenting was available on all articles, it was a constant. It didn't tell us anything. Now that commenting is a variable, turned off or on per article, it becomes an action that tags the article accurately. If comments are open, the article is trivial and may accidentally contain some facts due to hurried or superficial editing. If comments are closed, the article is official output from government/culture/corporations. Everything in it can be treated as inverted facts and upside-down logic.
