Maybe if he wore a sign saying, "I am a bought-and-paid-for Russian agent," two or three Republicans might object? I mean, we all know his base won't care.

Yeah, I've felt like they are one of the few outlets that still does any actual research or investigation into the topic of their articles.

The proof of that fact can be found in things like the Pepys diary. Dude was stoked about his cool watch, and his dalliance with an actress.

The major problem with this kind of pattern is you're looking to establish edge-case boundaries, rather than the most broadly applicable standard. The attempt to document and "solve for every case just leads to overly complicated and disingenuous discussions. Our fascination and obsession with "accuracy and precision" as applied to human behavior is one that breaks down very quickly unless you're attempting to be hyper-rational, at which point, any rules assigned to human behavior break down.

In short, "use your best judgement."

Note: I think that we have passed the golden moment where "human judgement" had any kind of value. There was a long time where we (all humanity) were stumbling in the dark, and we have now stepped back into that cave. But for a brief, shining moment, the percentage of people who had critical reasoning skills was growing, and it was majestic.

I would say "inside of the knee," if I'm reading the context right.

Authenticated cheese is the answer to the question, "what is the blockchain really good for, other than laundering money?"
