      There is “I’m trying to open people’s eyes to the truth” focusing on details and definitions.

              You say that all soaps are antibacterial because the result in the end is that no bacteria remains on the hands. I see what you’re saying there. But anti-bacterial soap kills the bacteria, including the remaining ones that couldn’t be removed.

              That’s like saying that removing a group of humans based on ethnicity from a region, without killing them, amounts to genocide. Would you say that’s genocide too?* (And I know the comparison is extreme.)

              *I think I read somewhere that forcibly removing people from a region amounts to genocide, though. But you know what I mean…
