The cognitive level of someone who would think in such terms reminds me of a scene from the HBO special Band of Brothers. A number of GIs are riding in the back of an open truck somewhere in Europe during the World War II, one of whom is reading a newspaper. The soldier sitting next to him says, "So, whatcha reading?" He replies, "Well, I am reading this article about how we got into the war and it says that the Germans are bad."
