It’s true. You may say it’s scientific fact that both “The world is flat” and “Pigs fly” are inaccurate statements, but let me change your perspective.

I assume, you’re interpreting the world as the planet Earth, which yes, is round however perhaps I meant the world as in an individual’s encompassing universe of known entities and the “flatness” is an indicator of the emotional well-being of those before mentioned things. Pigs in flight can be seen in several different ways, either a commentary of those people who act “boar-ish”, a member of the pig family, getting ahead in areas of their life (”soaring” as you will) such as up the corporate ladder (let’s ignore the ethical or moral dilemmas) or I could just be a jerk and literally say that pigs have been transported via air travel previously, hence you would describe them as flying.

Let’s not split hairs, the point is even the most obviously wrong statements… are sometimes right.
