What Vade is engaging in is called "pointing out hypocrisy."

Or "pointing out truly bizarre, schizophrenic-level inconsistency." But there's no real question.

If your model is wrong, "Garbage in, garbage out."

But in the 1980s Richard Hardison of Glendale College wrote a computer program that generated phrases randomly while preserving the positions of individual letters that happened to be correctly placed (in effect, selecting for phrases more like Hamlet's). On average, the program re-created the phrase in just 336 iterations, less than 90 seconds. Even more amazing, it could reconstruct Shakespeare's entire play in just four and a half days.
