| Apr 7 at 12:44 | comment | added | TheAsh | @Tom OP here. I simply asked about the numbers because I think Ethnic Cleansing is a vague indefinable term. I can think of definitions where the Israeli expulsion was ethnic cleansing, where the Jewish expulsion was, and where both or none are. The numbers though are hard fact which is why I asked about that. | |
| Apr 6 at 9:20 | comment | added | Tom | your rice example is carefully picked as a reductio ad absurdum. Of course, a correct answer should not be just "yes", but something like "yes, rice contains arsenic, about x ppm which is harmless". Likewise, an answer that expands on the actual question (the numbers) by pointing out that one year later they were completely different, or something like that, would be on topic. But when the question specifically is "are the numbers in this meme correct?" when it would've been shorter and easier for the OP to ask "is this meme correct?" it should be clear what OPs intent is. | |
