premise: Richard Church Thompson (October 8, 1957 – July 27, 2016) was an American illustrator and cartoonist best known for his syndicated comic strip "Cul de Sac" and the illustrated poem "Make the Pie Higher". He was given the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year for 2010.
hypothesis: Thompson lived during two centuries.
reason: Thompson's birth and death dates are (October 8, 1957 – July 27, 2016) - so he lived during 20th and 21st centuries; maybe the model thinks it means he lived two centuries?
