Nuclear engineers turning up their noses at "submissive and breederable" thorium, but nodding approvingly at "fissile and breederable" thorium. The distinction matters when you're trying to sustain a nuclear chain reaction. Thorium (Th-232) isn't directly fissile, but it can be bred into uranium-233, which absolutely slaps in a reactor. It's like rejecting someone's mixtape then vibing hard when they use slightly different terminology.
