9. The lie detector test: "Who cares who wrote the memo?"
That would tell the discerning observer all he or she needs to know. Paul Ryan is definitely complicit in this, even if nothing can be proved about what will undoubtedly soon become The Memo That Wrote Itself.

But just like in a close play at the plate in baseball, when there's a wide slide by the runner and a diving tag by the catcher, you can watch for a moment and know in an instant if the runner touched the plate or if the catcher applied the tag. The player who isn't sure will jump up to either touch the plate or apply the tag, making it an easy call for the umpire. Ryan just ran back to touch the plate.
