Exhibit 2:
If the second half of your sentence is having to explain that the first half of your sentence means the opposite of what it actually means, maybe you should fix the first half of your sentence so that it isn't bollocks.An assessment of impacts of the proposed change is required if the anticipated impact is negative (i.e. an increase in dangerous emissions). If the anticipated impact is positive, a qualitative assessment is adequate.
Example 3:
I think this gibberish is using "positive" to mean "good", but since I'm not sure what the numbers mean it's impossible to be sure. Maybe higher numbers are good, or maybe the author thinks higher numbers are good and I think higher numbers are bad. Who knows?Woodchopper wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2019 2:36 pmYes, its striking how the graphs show the positive effect on inequality of direct taxes and benefits as the coefficient is cut from 50.3 to 32.4, and the negative effect of indirect taxes which increase the coefficient back up to 36.2 (all from 2013/4).
Look. There are loads of words for "good" and "bad". Good, beneficial, favourable, improving; bad, adverse, unfavourable, worsening; loads more. Don't abuse words by giving them their opposite meanings. People who do that are literally worse than Hitler.
