Take the following as truth: It is as if you looked up, say, infer/imply in a usage manual and the author's treatment, in place of an explanation and sound advice, were an unpleasant diatribe against anyone so dense and rude as to have had to look up the entry to begin with.
Then the following statement: "It's as though the author stripped all of the personality out of the entries, and left only dry facts." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: False
