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 this (the main one) is a point worth making repeatedly, I think.

There are a lot of people, even very smart ones, to whom the fact that their boiler depends on working electricity simply never occurs.
