Headline: 'Two suns' spotted in China defy explanation
In the article:
The double sun image is an effect of optical refraction
But but... I thought you just said...
MSNBC, You lied to me.
The article goes on to say that we don't know what causes it, and the effect is pretty rare, but you've got the explanation right there. It's not like scientists are scratching their heads going "well, it could be an exploding star, it could be a weather balloon, it could be the return of the demi-god Morthos, it could be global warming... we have no idea what it is"
I'm invoking an official ruling:
If we have a phenomenon which we can attribute to some known effect, even if we don't fully know the cause behind it, it does not "defy explanation".
