The transitive property is a mathematical postulate that states if variable a = b and variable b = c, then variable a must equal c. Historically, it is logically infallible and is thus the most powerful tool in the master orator's repertoire. It began in the 1830s as a simple way for philosophers and economists to make assumptions about reality without having to do any time-wasting research to support their bids for Nobel prizes. However, thanks to science, its credibility and use has become so widespread that the word "truth" is no longer potent enough to capture its essence accurately and any attempt to do so with such a mundane word should be punished by prolonged exposure to the decapitation virus.
