Yeah, we have to defeat China. It's a moral imperative.
Btw this is mixed traditional and simplified so it doesn't show up in search.

Hearing it with your own eyes is better than hearsay
Exactly. Getting from the actual characters to the meaning is ridiculous.
You got wrong translation because you copied 所 into two separate characters 戶 and斤 also you can't just translate character by character, they have different meaning in context of combination with other characters
"relative therefore catty to hear, beats at pass to hear" - ah, it's so clear now.
You know what happens when you translate Latin by roots/affixes? It's kind of crude, but it basically makes sense.
The language is objectively trash, but I'm not really complaining. It's been holding China back for centuries, still today to a lesser extent, and that benefits me.
