Is it a positive or negative fact-finding?
(I mean:
Where smoke there is, there is house, warm or meal there. Or:
Where smoke there is, a house is in flames there.)
I can't think of a case where it's used in a positive sense. I searched for "where there's smoke there's fire positive negative" and found a paragraph on this site:
http://writewithtaste.com/blog/...uage-more.html
that supports my intuition:
"The expression, where there’s smoke there’s fire, is also typically used to talk about something with a negative connotation. For example, let’s say you’re discussing the worldwide threat of financial collapse in 2007. Someone might say, ‘It’s obvious that the reckless investments of big Wall Street banks have led to this. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.’"
Thanks.
