    Okay but listen, if you’re an Asian small-clawed otter, or a Neotropical otter, you’d be expected to know that. We’re talking about the North American river otter here, and everyone knows what bumpkins they usually are.

      Here’s the thing. You said a “North American river otter understands semiconductors.”

      Is it in the same subfamily as the other otters? Yes. No one’s arguing that.
