Take just one example and go outwards from it.

> Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Is the Friday the only coinciding factor in their assassinations? What about months and years, since other parts of the 'matching facts' seem to focus on years. One was November 1963, the other was April 1865. Thinking from that, if the simulation managed to match year-digits on other facts why did the simulation only match the day in this one specific area?

Try that or work on each of the examples. Here's another one

> John Booth who assassinated Lincoln was born in 1839

False. 1838. This should have taken no more than a minute to look up. How did the simulation get things so wrong?

The answer is that passages like these rely on the reader not applying critical thinking on it.
