I am reading a comment (1) by a person (2) who read an article on a newspaper website (3) discussing a book (4) written by someone about the life (5) of Stephen Hawking.

What I read !== Stephen Hawking.



By that logic don't read anything at all.


? It's not hard to find material based on primary evidence and direct observations of it. That is fundamental to all scholarship and also, to a significant degree, journalism, law, etc.


They specifically said

> What I read !== Stephen Hawking.

And by that logic one cannot know anything or anyone by merely reading about them, which I find to be absurd, hence my comment.


Words will never be a human, for what it's worth. May as well delete that code path, as it'll never be reached.
