It's a mystery

Even more of a mystery than discovering the motive for a mass causality attack by a guy named Mohammad shouting Allah Akbar

What went wrong? Is that 'wrong' as defined by axiological
interpretivism or a Socratic connection to virtue?  It's hard
to say, really. Or has the soterical extension of physical prosody
by misguided kneeling subsumed an atavistic reencapsulation?
It beggars the mind and beleaguers the purse, don't you
think?  It's obvious to the most casual observer what went
wrong, I must say.

At this point, if they need to ask that question, then they won't understand (or accept) the answer.

You just can’t make this up. It seems to me that everyone is ‘stuck on stupid.’ And, they just can’t see or refuse to see the truth.
