    Well, unless you used the strainer/sieve to get and keep fine cake flour (the water in your analogy) from coarse flour (the contents).

    Or like in the way they use sieves to sort gravel. They keep all of it.

    My point is, direction is relative.

      Oh using multiple accounts then?

      The one here is water and contents. Like water filter, you keep the water. Or pasta strainer, you keep the pasta. Hell even the comic says reverse filter. You’re trying to ignore common day parlance. Ciao.

        Nope, multiple people disagree with you.

        Or pasta strainer, you keep the pasta.

        You’re also supposed to keep some of the water to thicken the sauce typically

        You’re trying to ignore common day parlance.

        And you’re ignoring the gravel sieve example where everything is kept, because it’s inconvenient for your argument.

          You said “My point” not “Their point”.

          This comic is water and its contents. Anyway, you’re being weird (b b but some water is kept!) and weirdly confrontational about this so ciao.
