3. The article isn't "unbelievable," it's absolutely believable, which is the problem!

Sorry, one of my little pet peeves is using the words incredible or unbelievable as synonyms for amazing, astonishing or shocking. If something was really unbelievable we could ignore it; if it's shocking we can't. The article about Gaetz' victim is shocking because it's believable.
