The issue is one of Charlie digging some post holes in his yard in order to construct a fence, and the EPA becoming involved and trying to tell him he cannot do such a thing.

Of what relevance is the fact that Charlie owned a simple, three bedroom home? We don't give it a second thought, but the seed is planted: Charlie lives a modest, non extravagant lifestyle. Like many of us, he probably isn't well off. He's a little guy, being bullied by the much larger and powerful epa.

So already we are moving away from just the facts, and allowing emotion to influence our judgement. Not saying that Charlie didn't get a raw deal and treated unfairly, not at all.

Just pointing out how widespread and easily overlooked manipulation and bias can become. Even subconsciously.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
