[1/*] Using Twitter has put reading comprehension into a very different perspective for me. I used to think reading comprehension tests were silly when I was in grade school, because they seem so easy. But I guess I took for granted the skill of understanding a paragraph of text.

I’ve been saying it for years. An apparent inability to understand anything other than literal meaning is the source of much conflict and consternation.

But I am talking about the literal meaning. Like I am talking about people _literally cannot understand things_ like that there were two grant proposals, not one, etc.

Like you can go on Twitter right now and find many people responding to the NIH gain-of-function disclosure with "This grant wasn't funded, so it doesn't matter". But _that was a different grant_. The recent disclosure was about the grant that _was_ funded...

And the worst part about it is, the disclosure was specifically that gain of function research was not in the grant, but it occurred, so it had to be reported. So these people cannot even read the fact that the disclosure is _obviously talking about a funded grant_.

Like it's not even the same agency! DARPA and NIH are completely different words. So even the _headline_ contains the information you need! You don't even have to know anything else. If you have reading comprehension skills, you would know they were two different grants.,
