Someone says something like this, someone else misinterprets it and has a stupid idea, they convince a bunch of stupid scientists to do a bunch of stupid studies on their stupid idea, the scientists come to a stupid conclusion but everyone thinks they're geniuses because even though it's a stupid solution, the stupid scientists convince stupid everyone else that it's a great solution, and this is how your crops get watered with Gatorade.

One would really have to misunderstand how growing plants works to interpret the sentence as anything other than crop selection, but it's certainly a good point about the ambiguity of commonly used language. Laughing
