Did you ever notice that in the advertisements for cleaning agents like Dettol, toothpaste and detergents, they show that one germ or one tiny dust particle has not been cleansed even after using the product?
What are the advertisers trying to show here? Has there been a study conducted from which they have learnt that this is the extent to which the viewers would willfully suspend their disbelief?
Do they think that because there is still one germ left and one tiny stain hasn't been washed away by this self-proclaimed awesome cleaning agent, we convince ourselves that they aren't trying to bullshit us?
If some stupid idiot had the audacity to claim that all the germs would be killed, would people start rioting? "What the hell is this!? All germs are gone? There's no way that's true, is it!?"
But if you are clever enough to show that there's still one valiant germ standing even after it has been chemically bombarded, people will think, "Oh, look there's one remaining germ - that's totally believable, right?"
P.S - Have you observed that all the sentences in this post end with a question mark? Its something I thought I would try - is it any good? Yes, I may have twisted the rules here and there.. but it's okay when poets do it?
