Marley's Razor

The idea that one's admission to a greater offense is not conclusive evidence of the commission of a lesser offense.

Proposed by Kmele Foster and derived from Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff," in which the narrator admits to shooting the sheriff, but not the deputy.
"I'm looking at the Trump administration's response to the criticism that they're overstating things or that the Iranian strike actually went badly, when it does in fact seem like one of those cases where Marley's Razor applies, and while they may lie with some great regularity, it might be the case that this time, they are more right than wrong, and that the strike was potentially a lot more effective than they thought." Kmele Foster on Tangle podcast, 6/29/25.

maple syrup people

A reference to the strength and tenacity of Canadians, who appear meek and forgiving. In reality, when Canadians fight for a cause, they fight with intelligence and ferocity that overwhelms the enemy. This occurs in war, in business, and in politics.
Many of the war crimes in the Geneva Convention are based on actions of Canadians during World War I and II. They weren't war crimes at the time, and allowed Canada to win battles. They are now. Don't mess with the maple syrup people.
