This one appears to be plain nonsense. I'm not sure it's even grammatical.


I have some more:

(i) Pornography is rape.

(j) Meat is murder.

(k) Abortion is murder.

(i) & (j) are on their face category errors, so they must be metonymic if
they are to have any meaning at all. I think if you tried to translate
any of these three into Lojban, the emotional subterfuge involved would
become very obvious.
