^^ That's not much of a proof though, steering it into Conviction by Contradiction territory.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.
Alice is writing a fanfic for her favorite show, but it's stolen, finished with all the characters acting drastically out of character and acting Straw Political, and uploaded in her name. After calming down her outraged reviewers, Alice looks for the culprit. Bob is her prime suspect, as the character's thinly veiled political diatribes match up with Bob's political views perfectly, Bob was the only one in the office between the time Alice left her fanfic to get lunch and returned, and Bob has a REALLY obvious crush on Alice, and "helping" her with her fanfic is exactly the kind of misguided romantic gesture Bob might pull. However, Alice feels awkward about directly confronting him, so she instead drops some hints.
Alice: So, Bob, watch much Troper Tales?
Bob: (Blushing) Uh, yeah! It's my favorite show?
Alice: That Sheila's a jerk, isn't she?
Bob: Sure is!
Alice: AHA! Sheila's the nicest characters in the show. She was only acting that way in my fanfic because in my fanfic her mother died! BUSTED!
