A WRITER says that if all those 13 councillors at the football stadium meeting who voted to abstain had instead cast their votes to oppose, the "no" votes would have had a majority of two. How silly.

By the same token, if they had voted to back those supporting it, those "yes" votes would have had a massive majority.

Is this the sort of logic the same as the one which says that a glass is not half full, it's half empty?
