Both Sides Not 0

Spocko is tired of “both sides do it,” not only because both sides don’t do it, but also because it’s a refuge for lazy thinkers.

The magic phrase is destructive because it breaks down math and evidence in the heads of journalists. It converts a complex equation into 50-50! For example, this magic phrase can take a $5,000,000,000 dollar multi-decade program and make it equal to a $5,000,000 five year program with the simple incantation, “Both sides do it.” Shazam! The readers can now indulge in a “pox on both their houses” thought and move onto The Amazing Spider-man 2: Chock Full O’ Villains.

  • $5,000,000,000 DOESN’T Equal $5,000,000 in real world math.
  • However, in “Both Sides Do It” math 5,000,000,000 = 5,000,000 because 50% = 50%

Do read the rest.
