Oh, my white fragility!! This might offend me! It burns my eyes and pierces my eardrums to learn about history. I think I have the vapors. Quick Jeeves, hand me a mint julep and fan me!

"When you are studying any matter, or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only: what are the facts, and what is the truth that the facts bear out...." - Bertrand Russell

Still one of my favourite quotes and so very apropos for anyone claiming to be a critical thinker.

BIRD BLAMED FOR EATEN LEMONS AFTER MAN MAKES LOGIC ERROR
I’d thought a koel (bird) was eating my lemons (flesh) because 1) it was often in or near the tree, 2) eating coincided with koel’s seasonal visit, 3) koels eat fruit (from bird book).
I minimised my older (before koel’s arrival) thought 4) possum was eating lemon rind.
Thanks @AdoraKrem for alternative culprits: 5) possums, 6) rats.
Propositions 1, 2, 3 were insufficient to conclude the bird did it.
