There's two possible and opposite ways to complete the popular expression "it makes too much sense" and thus give meaning to it:
- It makes too much sense to be true, it must be false
- It makes too much sense to be false, it must be true
Which one is it?
Best Answer
I usually think of this as meaning "It must be false", in an extremely sarcastic way. For example, if a political policy that seems sensible gets enacted into law, someone with a low opinion of their officials might say "There's no way our government made that policy. It makes too much sense."
Some people might say "It makes too much sense, it must be true", but I don't really think of that as an idiom; it means just what it says.
