This is an important point. Some people use dual meaning on purpose to confuse people. That's bad #DetectingDeception. Others hear the confusing thing and are, well, confused.

2/ Example: Someone said in front of my kid yesterday that masks don't work. They do, and the kid and I had to have a talk about what might be going on here.
3/ If you think wearing a mask won't keep you 100 protected from COVID, you aren't wrong. But it does help reduce the chance of spread. Along with other things like vaccines, avoiding crowds, keeping it outdoors, TOGETHER, it helps a lot.
4/ Setting the standard as 100 prevention is a thinking problem. (Fun name: perfect world fallacy). Just because something isn't perfect doesn't mean it has no value.
5/ When you see a talking point, online or at a school board meeting, like this, people are either being deceptive, or repeating bad information because they have been deceived. A "you have a point, but have you considered..." can go a long way.
