It's a myth that the public can't follow. They follow perfectly well.

It's all part of the game. A BBC reporter comes on the 10pm news to explain

It's a question of fraudulently controlling the terms of the debate. Why,
I've even noticed there are people on usenet who do it too! They get the
teasing they deserve, though they may not be aware it's happening.
