Usage notes

• This test applies to any works with a strongly partisan or sectarian character for the reason that they are made for a very specific socially-linked faction of people.
• A work fails this test if anything it says becomes factually false specifically when the work is applied to people outside the particular socially-linked faction it was made for.
• A work passes this test when the statements it makes remain factually true with regard to whatever they refer to when it is shown to other factions or populations of people.
  • If a work is written in the United States, and it makes true statements about the United States, but it is dropped into North Korea, it does not become false just because North Koreans are not sure what is true about the United States.
  • If a work is written in Taiwan and it makes false statements about Canada, but it is dropped into Canada, it is not true on the basis of whether the people of Taiwan believe it to be true.
  • If a work is written by Trotskyists and it makes false statements about the population of the Soviet Union or about mainstream Marxist-Leninist parties, it fails the test.
  • If a work is written by anarchists and it makes many statements about Marxism that are all true, it passes the test.
  • If a work is written by Christians and it makes bizarre unfounded claims about all atheists, it fails the test. If it correctly educates people about atheists as they exist and behave in the real world it passes the test.
• This test may be used to fail works that claim there is no need for teaching the history of other subpopulations in the same country. Any work that makes this statement would be likely to make statements about other populations that directly fail the test.
• In principle, all meta-Marxist works should be held to the standard of passing this test, as well as all works created within Molecular Marxisms should there be a day when such civilizations are no longer hypothetical and come to exist.
• This test was created to screen for the "Sunny fallacy" — "Anything is true if your population is small enough".
