if true

a) True vs false (reason) contradicts if/then (implication)...

b) The shirt he's wearing reads "Occupy Mars" aka to take possession of mars/mers - "to trouble, confuse"

You being tempted to ignore implication for reason implies you taking into possession a side, which fuses together (con-fuse) both sides into conflict/trouble.

c) Elon/elongate - "to prolong" simply uses a suggestion to prolong conflicts of reason among all those who consent to it.
