So we should talk about the situation but we cannot state the severeness of the situation?
Is there any point in “stating” severeness of the situation, if you cannot measure it?
There’s no scale here, Frederiksen didn’t sit down to develop some metric for situation severeness and then came to the conclusion “Oh, this rates at 1.2 Cuban Missile crises, better give the alarm”, she just blurted out a soundbite.
Not everything worth discussing is easily measurable.
If I were to say that U.S. democracy is deteriorating rapidly and hasn’t been in this sort of danger in decades, would you say I’m recklessly fear-mongering since it cannot be measured in a floating-point value with a rigorous, well-defined unit of measure?
You’re being needlessly contrarian and reductionist.
