And there would be no fire, because some middle-manager cave person would point out that if fire was such a good idea the other cave people would already be using it.

Additional quotes by Scott Adams

The way that most political hoaxes are done is that the person who gets cancelled did a real thing, lets say it's on video or they wrote it in this email, but nobody can imagine how that could be out of context. [...] You look at it and you go 'You know, I don't know the whole story, but how in the world could I be wrong about this? I'm looking right at it. It's really clear.'
