I don't think that a bow and arrow can be shot one handed,
either.  I DO think that all the anecdotal evidence
that's been bandied around is NOTHING BUT a deliberate
attempt to use emotion to sway others' opinions.


The "bow and arrow" article was an attempt to show just what
such an argument looks like when one doesn't agree with any
of the premises that the anecdote is supposed to demonstrate.

It's interesting that this net seems to take people literally
ONLY when they're being subtle, and vice versa.  Some sort
of bumbled defense mechanism, perhaps?
