    I've heard that before but I also heard it wasn't true so I had to look it up.
    Simply put, none of the several lions filmed by MGM for use in their logos was involved in incidents that killed their trainers. All of those animals were handled by professional trainers who were well known in show business circles and whose deaths in any lion-mauling attacks would have been prominent news.

    If you walk into somebody’s bathroom, and see anti-dandruff shampoo, you could assume that they have dandruff, but you could also assume they don’t have dandruff.

    Just to be difficult: how is this a fact-useless or otherwise? It seems to be a hypothesis as either could be an educated guess.

    It's useless to walk into a bathroom and think about someone else's shampoo. :p
