    No I didn't. I said there was many different types of knives in the kitchen and they have different usages.

    I too have watched Brass Eye, and they literally had MPs telling people about the dangers of "cake" in a previous episode. It showed that MPs and TV celebrities would literally say…

    The mistake you are making is that you are taking a LinkedIn post at face value. The LinkedIn post is rage/engagement bait. The problems are usually harder e.g. write a Roman Numer…
