The question: You ask the PR director what it takes to get a job. He says you will get a job only if you do stuff. He didn't answer your question, as in this specific case q->p is and p->q isn't. He made a logically true statement that was misleading. If I was giving someone programming advice and used the word 'this' in a manner that would lead them to believe I was referencing an object when I was in fact referencing the object's this pointer, I would have made a true statement, and would be lying by most definitions of the word.
This is a semantics issue, not a logic one. Shall we drop it?
