100% of German citizens have a brain, emotions, and an enduring ineffable soul. That’s a precise AND accurate statement ;)



That's a bold statement to make. German souls need to be re-issued regularly by the BIE (Bundesamt für Immaterielle Essenzen), and it's quite easy to fall behind with how much paperwork this is every year.


It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't take 4+ weeks to do anything. My friend had a child and he got a soul a year later. It's even worse in Berlin.


People are people! Precision at its best!


Aren't tautologies, by definition, the least precise statements possible?
