As a general rule, I am initially suspicious of "facts" that either agree with my opinion or support one of my inferences.
I steadfastly agree with this post.

R.I.P. Facts
Great piece in my opinion which can now be taken as FACT as I have written it on the interwebs.

In my opinion there is no actual factual definition of "teh".

Gotcha!

My turn for a subtle reference.

When I first heard his name, I said, just as you are going to say, "But I thought he was a boy?"

"So did I," said Christopher Robin.

"Ah, yes, now I do," I said quickly; and I hope you do too, because it is all the explanation you are going to get.
