Lincoln once asked his staff, "If we all agree to call the dog's tail 'foot', how many feet would a dog have". Everybody answered 5. But Lincoln corrected them saying that the dog would still have only 4 feet. Calling a tail a foot does not make it so. Lincoln was a smart man, but I don't think most people can see so clearly. Hence all the doublethink.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Benjamin Franklin

"This brings us to the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result [1]"
