Words are so easy, so fluid. People with a silver tongue can have an audience rich in the information of their choosing. Pursuasive people are often great with rhetoric.
But what if the words don’t match the realty.
This airline spokeswomen is paid to stand up and deliver a positive report. And the objective reports as to whether the airline is on time, whether they loose baggage or whether they cancel flights inconveniencing their customers is realitively easy to com by.
But what about political claims?
Will the sports stadium really bring in that much out of state spending? Will the program really propel people out of poverty? Will the light rail trasit be used to justify its expense? Some of those questions are more difficult to prove of disprove.
Although audiences have their way of calculating their personal benefits and observing the outcomes of others. They don’t need a camerman to pan upwards to the delayed flight arrival board to get a gut reaction to a politican’s claim.
It would just be nice to have earlier benchmarks to at least tighten up the projections before plunging forward with some of these joint ventures.
