Proverbial Freedom

As free as a bird.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

If something is as free as a proverbial bird, and a proverbial bird in the hand is worth two in the proverbial bush, then doesn't that mean that the free proverbial bird is obviously less valuable than a proverbial bird in a proverbial hand? And therefore the proverbial captured bird is twice as valuable as the proverbial free bird.

Thus proving that freedom is half as valuable as incarceration.

And mathematically:

Fb = one free bird.

Hb = one bird in the hand.

Bb = one bird in the bush.

Hb = 2Bb

Bb = Fb

therefore;

Hb = 2Fb

thus;

One bird in the hand = Two free birds.

The birds can then be cancelled out;

H = 2F

Thus proving that freedom is half as valuable as incarceration.

Proverbially.
