01. Introduction
If we were to try to convince the reader that planes and trains are basically the same thing, the reader would laugh at such a preposterous suggestion.
However, the reader would rightfully laugh because the reader knows that they are completely different and no one in their right minds would confuse one for the other.
But what if the reader didn’t know anything about either? Would the reader then laugh? Maybe not.
What if it were that the reader didn’t know the difference between them and we said that they are basically the same as both are means of transportation of passengers, both are made of metal, both are long in shape, both have windows on the sides, both have small and cramped toilets, both have a “driver” in the front and both have the passengers seated behind him in rows with a corridor in the middle, would we be lying?
