(8,377 posts)because of the rhetorical twist. My point is that. regardless of the rhetoric, it appears these are serious issues. I never felt like the government explanation was satisfactory. For me, if they honestly found no evidence of foul play, It would be OK to say, "We can't determine any cause to a certainty. It seems to be a freak accident."
But government people don't believe most Americans would accept that. They would potentially freak out and in the process, destroy the airline industry. So they make up some double-talking nonsense and surround it with some fake trappings of science truthiness, and all rally behind that explanation. They they set the wolves out on anybody who questions them. That is how propaganda always works. it isn't complicated.
