I’m not going to give serious time to non-serious questions. You’re going to have to at least show you tried to think of how this could be manipulative. If you’re going to consider yourself a rational thinker, then you’re also going to have to agree that more context should be there regardless of whether it changes the message. Any time there is a hint of manipulation (such as trimming down to sound-bites), you should push back.
What possible context could make that okay?
