Trust me nothing that you see online is unbiased, everyone has got their point of view and they are going to push their agenda according to their point of view.

In contrast, the share of transit, non-motorized, and taxicab trips has steadily increased by giuliomagnifico

Well it is what it is people want to relate to think even when they have not read any print media for some time.

They will still say things like this it is that's something that is never going to change.

>Even this statement can be understood in multitude of different ways.

It's true that you can find ways to misunderstand it if you're looking to. That's separate from these kinds of statements having more than enough common understanding for this sort of social study.

If you were requiring this same level of resistance to alternate interpretation for all other well-known and generally agreed-upon terms in politics, pretty much no social study would be possible.

I think we've both laid our positions out pretty well, and know where each other stand. It doesn't seem like we're going to change each other's mind soon, so cheers and best.

It is all propaganda and it is all miss leading and we should not believe any of it that we see online.

Especially we should not believe the things that we see on the Facebook.

The 2016 scans didn't have enough data to determine what the void was and where it was located exactly.

In 2019 they concluded it was a corridor, but the orientation was still unclear, and the location still had several meters margin of error.

In 2023 they knew exactly where it was, hence endoscopic exploration was conducted.

The article discussed at length that no one understood how the voids would improve structural engineering. I would hazard that they want to think about that more before doing anything.

I’d also imagine that they’d need approval from the Egyptian government and I would also hazard those approvals might not be forthcoming without an abundance of evidence that any sort of exploration would have zero affect on the structure’s integrity:
