    Yeah, that violates the rule of "to thine own self be true". There is a
    very slippery slope there and Pastis skipped right across it.

    It can happen by accident too.

    Riding my lawn tractor seems to register on my phone's pedometer app.

    Certain bedroom activities leave their trace on my wife's Fitbit step
    counter.

    To announce that there must be no criticism of the President,
    or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong,
    is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally
    treasonable to the American public. - Theodore Roosevelt

    And I have seen failures in the opposite direction. When my knee was in
    a brace and I had to go up stairs with the other knee doing the
    climbing; the fitness app on my smartphone didn't register the climbing
    at all.
