Huh? My statement is an implication:
IF you do not want people to have weird ideas about what you are doing
THEN do not use symbols which have strong associations in people's minds
Do you disagree with it? which part?
If you just don't care that some people will be disturbed by the red
star, this is certainly your right; but this has no bearing on the
veracity of the implication (false statement implies anything).
> Ergo people should sort their ideas out.
Are you saying that people will ever learn to disassociate the red star
from the communists, cross from Christianity and swastika from Nazism?
I doubt that.

undoubtedly, but irrelevant to my statement.
