Thanks PDQ! I am very proud to have a liberal arts background. I hope you do understand that liberal arts are just as important as scientific thinking. You can have a bunch of facts but you need to know what to do with them.
I think you are very wrong when you say that anything that gives an incorrect impression is a lie. An impression is your feeling, it is truthful to you. It is not a lie. I can look at a piece of cheese and my mouth will water, someone who is lactose intolerant might feel nausea. It does not mean that the cheese is a lie.
The "fact" is that a picture was taken that shows a woman in a migrant worker camp. The details are there for everyone to view. However you choose to interpret those facts follows how you determine to live your life. I hope you aren't living a lie.
