After some weeks of being widely criticized for his incompetent and emotionally stunted response to the fires, Mr. Morrison is now implausibly arguing that hazard-reduction burns are more important than emissions reductions in dealing with bush fires, even though eminent scientists and fire chiefs have repeatedly said this is untrue.

The most recent data on America's economic growth, labor market conditions and inflation developments make it very difficult to understand why the Fed keeps postponing the process of a gradual and orderly normalization of its bloated monetary base (M23) and its implausibly low federal funds rate - the only interest rate it directly controls.

When the British foreign secretary, Arthur Balfour, wrote in April that "extreme nationalists" in Egypt, whom he implausibly described as "paid agents of the revolutionary party in Turkey and Bolshevists," were using Wilson's words to "stir up a Holy War against the Infidels," Wilson quickly agreed to recognize British control over Egypt.

Lippman's office is a shrine to the tomato: On his walls are old tomato-can labels and antique postcards of implausibly gigantic tomatoes, and thousands of little brown envelopes containing seeds, each marked by year and variety, are stacked on his desk, in old seed boxes, in wooden trays and plastic cabinets against the wall.

In a way, Mrs May's vision of religious Britain is similar to the vision that she has put forward, a bit implausibly, of political and civic Britain: a place where decent people want to rub along and work together with a common purpose (in this case, managing Brexit) with no hindrance from pesky purveyors of rancour.

As glum and obscure as it is, "Annihilation" has some silly "let's split up" decision-making, it has various implausibly cryptic clues left by previous explorers, and it has someone who conveniently inventories her comrades' defining traumas—"She's an addict, she has cancer"—so that Mr Garland doesn't have to go to the bother of developing three-dimensional characters.

Their attack involves an implausibly large number of terrorists dressed up to look like various British security forces (how, exactly, they infiltrated those security forces without anyone recognizing them is only barely explained, and the explanation is somehow less convincing than no explanation would have been) and fake-looking computer-generated explosions at various notable British monuments.

And that was the image China's official state media presented when broadcasting Xi Jinping's annual new-year message to the Chinese people on December 31st—though it has to be said, if that impressive expanse of wood really is the presidential desk, Mr Xi must find it hard to reach his impressively red but implausibly far-off telephones.

Everyone, at some point or another, has wished that they could have a longer USB cable: whether it's a few more inches to reach the plug under your desk, a 5-foot long cord to plug a phone in on your nightstand, or a 65-foot long USB cable that stretches across your implausibly-large-yet-poorly-wired house.

A negative short-term interest rate — indicating an implausibly loose monetary policy — and tax cuts in an economy with an estimated budget deficit of 5 percent of GDP, and a gross public debt of $21 trillion, or 2.13 percent of GDP, is a classic case of an excessive stimulus to an economy that does not need it.

Sure, some would argue, somewhat implausibly, that Menendez shouldn't have gotten himself indicted, and it is critical to acknowledge that those who vote with Democrats may ultimately suffer as a result of his conduct if he is convicted and a Republican governor replaces him with a Republican-voting senator whose interests are inconsistent with how the replacement senator might vote.

For example, early in the novel, François looks up two of his exes, successful single women in their forties; these scenes suggest, not implausibly, that the penalties of aging, and the psychic toll of dating and singleness, are even harder for women than for men, and that they aren't really balanced out by the joys of a career in, say, wine distribution or pharmaceuticals.

They're spread all across the US and most of them are implausibly rich: Richie (Bill Hader) is a popular standup comic; Bill (James McAvoy) is a bestselling novelist; Eddie (James Ransone) is a New York financier; Ben (Jay Ryan) is a ludicrously handsome, ludicrously upscale architect; Beverly (Jessica Chastain) is a wealthy fashion designer who breaks away from an abusive marriage to fly to Derry when Mike summons everyone home.

The topic lingers behind euphemisms for a few years, and then someone calls it forth again: Elisabeth Kübler-Ross with her disciplined "On Death and Dying" in 226.95; Susan Sontag with her angry but profound "Illness as Metaphor" in 2211 and the empathetic follow-up "AIDS and Its Metaphors," in 222.99; Derek Humphry, implausibly, with his suicide handbook "Final Exit" in 2272; Sherwin Nuland with his magisterial "How We Die" in 2240; more recently, Joan Didion with her agonizingly precise "The Year of Magical Thinking" in 2228; and Atul Gawande with his humane "Being Mortal" in 225.
