As for me, I'm not interested. I wrote about why not.

Maybe Finn Gillespie-Petersen did not write the sub-head. There's no mention of 'double-sided coin' in the body of the piece.

'two sides of the same coin' is a metaphor for two things that are a part of a single whole. 'a double-edged sword' is a metaphor for something that can be both favourable and unfavourable at the same time.

The metaphor in this sub-head seems to be a confused mixture of the twain.

In magic, a double-sided coin is simply a trick coin with both sides stamped the same, which clearly isn't relevant here as there's no assertion that tourism is some kind of magic trick.

"... George Lakoff is an authority on the #nature and #power of

#frames – the worldviews that we activate...

..the #words and #metaphors we choose. As he has documented over

many decades, we are unlikely to win a #debate if we try to do

so while still using our opponent’s #frames.

The title of his book, Don’t Think of an Elephant, makes this

very point because it immediately makes you think of a you know

what."
