Occam's razor. Why would you take a screenshot or picture of something, but crop part of the thing you want to post about out? It makes no sense...

Jesus christ. You are hell bent on making a mountain out of a molehill.

To start with, there is no reason to bother providing credit to a security banner that there are 50 of in every airport in Canada. Just isn't.

But more importantly, they took the pic because they were focusing on the images in the center of it. That's why. They didn't crop out anything they were talking about. It is literally in the center of the image. A banned hockey stick.

Occams Razor does not apply here as your entire train of logic has been flawed from the start.

Relax. I'm allowed to state my opinion, you're allowed to disagree. If we're still not in the same wavelength, it's fine, but we don't need to make it a big thing.

I have never in my life seen people crop part of their own image out of the the post they themselves chose to post so no, Occam's razor does apply. But again, you're allowed to disagree. But wherever you got the image from, it was edited, that's a fact...

It was edited, that's a fact

It was a photograph taken focusing on the center of a security banner. It was not edited or cropped after the fact, it was merely taken from a close range focusing on the images. How this has sailed 35,000 feet over your head I have no idea. But this entire comment chain has been nonsensical from start to finish on your part. Because no. Occam's Razor does not apply to a situation this not occurring. You have invented a chain of events that has never happened, insisted that things were edited when they were not. This is an utter waste of time.

Have fun with that.

Edit: apologies on the double comment. Instance issues.
