al gore first invented snopes to hide his tracks
then he invented the internet
then he invented bike forums under the guise of a mild mannered utah-guy.

Well, actually, they invented a highly scalable, routable network protocol. The internet is more than just TCP/IP.
It's like saying roads + bicycles + cyclists = cycling. It's actually public roads + bike component companies + bike manufacturers + sports goods manufacturers + traffic regulations + LBS + publications + cyclists + bikes = cycling
