I’m not sure if you read the couching of my statement that there are smoke machines.

Or that, you know, I’m an analytical chemist for smoke… And there may be smoke without fires (as I eluded to in the original post), but where there is a fire there is absolutely smoke. And I believe I’ve taken at least a chemistry course to get where I am today… But who says the universe wasn’t created last Thursday…

Also there are some idioms that are never true, how are they not worse than an idiom that “isn’t always true”? I think your scale on idioms are off as much as your judgement of people’s chemistry backgrounds.
