Got into an interesting discussion on what matters in communication.

Nuance gets missed a lot when people tell half-truths. For instance, an astonishing amount of folks say they want gas as their heating system because of power outages.

Most gas-fired systems still need electricity to operate. Which, anyone who has lived with one during a power outage, already knows.

That half-truth is that a gas-fired system can more easily be supplied with emergency power. But most people don't have that.

@TechConnectify Maybe they’re thinking of a gas stove and a match for emergency heat? Not that it requires a gas furnace at that point. (Nor is a great idea for emissions/safety.)
