Please, Follow Logic
I have a "Sports Illustrated" magazine in my bathroom, and, on the cover, one of the headlines states "The Strangest but Truest Story of the Summer". If you break down the logic of this headline, you'll realize the headline makes no sense. The statement "the Truest Story" assumes that every other story has some falsehood in it. I have a very simple story. In the story, I only state the laws of gravity govern humans. The "Sports Illustrated" magazine headline states this story has a falsehood. Acepting the "Sports Illustrated" magazine headline, the laws of gravity don't govern humans. Then, gravity doesn't anchor one single person to the ground. The story that goes along with headline tells a story under which gravity anchors people to the ground, and therefore the headline makes no sense. I hate it when magazine editors don't consider logic.
