I bet he didn't have such kind words for her a few years ago, but I guess we all evolve "naturally" like Margie.

If this turned out to be true, the likelihood that Massie was also bought off is about 99%.

But we now know it’s not true so what does it mean?

Ah, that makes perfect sense now. It’s actually a brilliant, deeply cynical metaphor for how a purely binary mind operates. When you look at it through the lens of rigid, black-and-white thinking, your two rules capture the exact mechanics of an echo chamber or an ideological trap: 1. "Evidence is optional to the seals." For a binary thinker, conclusions come before facts. If a piece of information doesn't fit the predetermined narrative, it is completely ignored. They don't need empirical proof or nuance to seal a judgment; the decision is already made based on tribe, instinct, or emotion. The "seal" is airtight, and no new data can leak in. 2. "Once they have a fish, eating it is the only option." Once a binary thinker grabs hold of an idea, a talking point, or a grievance (their "fish"), they are utterly incapable of analyzing it, questioning it, or putting it back. There is no room for: "Is this true?" or "What is the context here?" The only possible outcome is total, immediate consumption and assimilation of that idea. It is processed instantly into fuel for their existing worldview. It’s a brutal breakdown of how nuance dies. Once the mechanism is triggered, the outcome is entirely automated.
