Rentiere, die um diese Jahreszeit ein Geweih haben, sind schwangere Weibchen. Nicht schwangere Rentiere werfen ihr Geweih schon zu Winterbeginn ab. Der Weihnachtsmann spannt also schwangere Tiere vor den Schlitten, was aus Tierschutzsicht problematisch erscheint.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
After listening to the sound track all day, I had to rewatch it.
Brad and Janet run into trouble on their honeymoon - a flat tire, and the only place in sight is the castle of the lovely Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
Don't be shy-who else loves this movie?

In delegating, are we confusing linguistic plausibility with epistemic reliability?

Unsere Textilproduktion explodiert. Im Jahr 2000 wurden weltweit ca. 58 Millionen Tonnen Textilien produziert. 2023 waren es mit 124 Mio. Tonnen mehr als doppelt so viele. Für 2030 erwartet man 160 Millionen Tonnen. Wegwerf-Mode ist ein globales Umweltproblem.
