Third option: they’ve fallen into a pattern recognition fallacy and think it’s a number when it’s a completely different symbol. This happens a lot more often than most realize and even knowing about it, it can be difficult to go against the human instinct to find patterns that may or may not exist and then fit the data to it.

GTFO! Clearly a drawing of a sanitary door hook. This is war!
Someone, somewhere, will misrepresent this to give credence to the “do your own research” crowd.
Which is not to discredit the message. They misrepresent everything.
See, this meme is annoyed at the ramifications of epistemological relativism.
I am extremely annoyed by the superfluous commas.

I really like this take.

I’m a little amused that in the comic both viewers are correct relative to their frame of reference. An extremely powerful concept that significantly advanced physics and about which famous people are household names.

You accidentally made the wrong point, because Einstein’s breakthrough of special relativity was that the speed of light is constant regardless of reference frame.
So if two people with different frames of reference are measuring the speed of light differently, at least one of them is objectively wrong.
But if they measure the order of events differently, they may both be correct. That is because light is always perceived as being the same speed regardless of the observer.
And yet, causality is preserved, and there is a clear specific mathematical relationship between the two frames of reference.
So you will measure differently, but as soon as you do the math to account for your different frames of reference, you will again have the same measurements. Of course, we know there is an objective mathematical relationship between the two frames of reference, because the speed of light is constant.
If you assume this is the entirety of the universe of the comic (perhaps encased in a spherical cow), sure.
That grammar is shit as hell, too.
“Just because you are right
Does not mean
I am wrong
Except my grammar
Which sucks doodie”

What the everloving fuck did I read?
First of all, I don’t know who you think you are talking to but I am not lying. I 100% know how abuse affects you as I was abused most of my childhood and teenage years. I am not playing any cards, I am reminding you that calling people selfish and lazy when you do not know them based on something like grammar is ignoring multitudes of factors you have no idea of using myself as an example. And this is not a work email. It is informal language used in meme. And by the way, even though I am using a grammar checker on all that I write, it is not perfect. Of course, people also check the language when it is more relevant but the majority of people are not using it for all texts.
My point is less about bad grammar and correcting it and more about how you are going around correcting it. You also have no business defining what I should and shouldn’t take from your writings when you didn’t spell it out. My point is that requiring perfect grammar when you do not know the person writing from Eve is problematic especially when you call everyone with bad grammar selfish and lazy. Taking the multitudes of factors that can cause people to have bad grammar into account is not a problem. Painting everyone with the same negative brush is.
I am telling the truth, too. I myself even have touches of dyslexia myself, and yet here I am not using it as an excuse to make life harder than everyone else.
So do millions of other people. And so are you, responding with high school/college level spelling, vocabulary and grammar which you are somehow mysteriously capable of doing when you want to win something.
So clearly, it is possible to expect dyslexic people – like myself and my friends – to be held to the same standards as everyone else.
You don’t have a right to demand people assume everyone who refuses to watch their spelling and grammar is dyslexic.
You don’t have a right to demand no one hold anyone else accountable for anything intellectual or to not let us expect people to know, understand, or do anything. That’s not how life works.
If you are dyslexic, you have to be doubly careful because of it. And it may not seem fair to you, but life isn’t fair, and what you want is an unfair burden on everyone else, including us other dyslexics who do understand that.
You doing that is insulting to the rest of us who do have various learning disabilities and struggles who have to be associated with lazy, selfish people like yourself who think that you’re entitled to skate because of it. You are not, we want to be treated as equals to everyone else, and here you are fucking it up using our disability to imply we’ll never be as good as everyone else and therefore have to have our hand held and treated as an inferior, and I am telling you no, you will not demand we be mollycoddled because you think no one has a right to hold anyone responsible for anything.
Disabilities are not excuses and you’re not going to turn them into one. You have to adhere to the same standards as everyone else whether you like it or not.
