Spin Analysis: irony framing

  value: Whether the referenced ad exists in official Google channels; Whether screenshots or video evidence were shared; Timing, geographic targeting, or platform placement of the alleged ad
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines rhetorical questioning ('how much money(?)'), loaded adjectives ('insanely intelligent'), and implied consensus ('Even Gemini doesn’t recommend Gemini') to manufacture a shared sense of knowingness. The framing makes the *idea* of self-sabotage feel larger than warranted, while the claim’s validation rests entirely on absence of disproof — a classic fog tactic where ambiguity substitutes for evidence.
