Substitute "utterly inaccurate from the get-go" for "become out-of-date" and you're getting nearer the mark.At the risk of making your head explode, I would like to suggest that your glass is half empty....
You seem to have plucked the principal "out there" statement from among all the ones that the snopes site merely modified. That one (about how many people control the wealth) did not make sense - you're right. But many of the others were quite close (like a 33/67 split instead of a 30/70 split in one instance - that kind of thing).
You shouldn't (hark at me, telling someone what to do - and it's sjm, too!
) you SHOULDN'T completely discredit something because some parts of it are wrong. Discredit the wrong parts and welcome; but don't paint it all with the same brush. You get into trouble when you see the world in black and white. You miss all the lovely subtle colours it's really painted in.
Funny how badly I want to squeeze you right now. (In a good way! ie, with a hug!) (Hm. Is that remark more calculated to make your head explode, than all that went before?! it's not intended that way, I assure you! I love a good pedant. I also love a good pendant, but that, as a friend of mine would say, is a whole other website.
