It points out that /tv/ is passive media. You're shown something. /mu/ is also passive media.
You hear something. On the other hand, the amount you get out of reading /lit/ is entirely dependant on what the active participant brings to the table. Muh synthesis doesn't really mean a lot when you reduce /lit/ to story alone. Literature is the patrician's choice.

(inb4 you can interpret film because that's being disingenuous. The point is that it's inherently a passive meduim whereas literature is inherently the opposite. Even the graphic arts, being static, outdo /tv/ when it comes to audience participation).

Anyway the answer is yes, since the sense of a proposition only denotes a particular way of denoting the referent. In this case the mode of presentation does not differ when it is figured as the completation of the proposition "the lever om the right will divert the streetcar", since substituting the term "trolley" to "streetcar" does not change the truth value of the sentence.

>In homosexual relationships you have pitchers and catchers.
While this is true I believe the intent was to invoke the pitcher that is used to make cucumber water as it is well known that the homosexual palette is too delicate for plain tap water and so they have to get their hydration from infused water.
