What it says: If X and Y, then Z.
But the "ifs" are totally blue sky, and the "consequent" isn't even connected with that much.

(9,688 posts)4. Sorry, that reply doesn't make sense.
It fails to grasp what I said.
I'm going to close discussion now, because I've seen enough.

(22,990 posts)5. Funny, that's what I was thinking.
It would help if you could articulate specifically what the BS is in the article. You can't possibly really mean that the entire article is BS.

It looks like it's closely related to the silver leaf nightshade; another solanum.
I can see both similarities and differences.
