The point doesn‘t stand, because you made a claim about what people supposedly said or didn’t say after Chomsky passed away. And he didn‘t even pass.

It does, because people thought he died and commented about what he will be remembered for.

This is pedantry at its finest.

You can remove the name and still have a point left there. Just pretend the comment only said Kissinger, it’s really not that hard.

Honestly if you are 50% wrong about a point you are trying to make that doesn't look great.

A lot of people thought he did die and they did say things about him.

He is living in Brazil, but unfortunately it seems to be his ending days too. Every other week there is a fake news about his death.
