  • "If you leave the bag in, then over time the cup of tea will get stronger. And it may appear that the bag is getting weaker but it’s now part of a stronger bag of tea. Whereas if you take the bag out, the tea gets weaker and the bag goes directly in the bin"

    Aw, my favorite kind of analogy, one that starts off ridiculous and then awkwardly shambles over into genius!

    • @dodgybob5110
      @dodgybob5110 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      But it fails to conclude the analogy correctly! If he actually was a genius, he would realise tea cannot keep getting stronger forever, and after a time the teabags are a hindrance! But gotta push the marxist hate analogy - right. Brexiteers want ALL countries EQUAL access. The racist anti-brexiteers want discrimination! But they are too stupid to realise how stupid they are!

    IN ADDITION: you're being asked whether you want the bag left in or not, when you don't actually know how strong the cup of tea currently is. You have to make a snap decision that will impact your quality of life immediate future with no actionable information - and if you panic and say "take it out" you're suddenly stuck with a weak cup of tea that you didn't even want.
