This is a very interesting comment for future historians, as it shows how people convince themselves that they have absorbed substance when in fact there is no such substance.

Virtually no aspect of your statement extends beyond press headlines, where the content and follow-on of each of these stories entirely defused the substance of the respective headline. That is why the whole thing that you believe is very important amounted to a pile of dust.

The irony of talking about substance when offering practically none in one's own comment.

I didn't realize I was writing an exam with essay-type questions.

This comment would be more valuable if you’d made it in a constructive way with even one detailed example of defused substance.

That's the irony. Their own views don't have any actual substance.
