The underlying issue is real, so I wonder if someone crafted the email to try and bring attention to the issue

Summer nights are warmer than winter day despite having more light.

Except they don't have more light over a 24 hour period.

Besides, I hardly think there's a Greek myth that explains that.

I think metaphor and similes are great for explanation and understanding things (including novel things) but you've picked some examples a lot of people are going to get stuck on.

The posts in U.S. Central Command, including the deputy commander and the commander of the Navy’s 5th Fleet, are either being held by temporary commanders, junior officers or officers doing two jobs at once, said Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz.

Period.”

Kelly is the latest lawmaker to lash out at Tuberville, R-Ala., for retaining his hold on more than 300 general and flag officers

I don't think that's entirely true, the BBC is quite open about there being no voting for the King and that he's the paramount leader of the English church.

Although I agree, the BBC rarely says anything about the 26 mandatory religious seats into he House of Lords.
