5Please just write the standard library!
Florida man goes insane after accepting conclusion!
Texas woman cleverly navigates around the conclusion!
Raemon found on overpass shouting at cars "just accept the conclusion and deal with it, you can actually do that, that is actually fine, it is just a regular ol conclusion guys, you have dealt with annoying true facts before"
Record-setting interstate pileup as people swerve to avoid the conclusion!

The journalists who caught the "donate to all the political opponents of your enemies regardless of political party with a superPAC called Team America" strategy and brought it to the people's attention did great work.
