I didn’t quite follow the application of “hoist on his own petard” in this case. I am enjoying ill health and my mind is even slower and more irrelevant than usual. Sorry. I was just contributing my pedantry, which is vast, to this mishegoss.
Gotcha. I struggle against “brain fog “ every day, and sometimes ie works against me.
When people are angry, I like to be irrelevant, if God has protected me from being caught up in the general wrath.
