Tesla Model S is a sedan and KFC sells burgers, if you say otherwise you're a semantic nazi
I think to most people "burger" implies a ground beef patty, and a non-beef sandwich can only be a burger in a metaphorical sense.

Horse and Sparrow Theory.
The whole Shohei Ohtani fiasco from Toronto's perspective. Wow, people bit hard on that. To be fair, everyone was waiting on confirmation. But, seriously, a writer for the Dodgers makes the first call, then people are checking Flight Aware, there's a restaurant reservation rumoured, and on and on.
Finally, the flight lands and one of the Dragon's Den guys hops out. Word comes down that he's signed with the Dodgers.
Seems to me like it was misreported on purpose, using Toronto as a foil.
