        Autodidacts often have odd holes in their basic knowledge. And it's not exactly clear what you were parodying.

        *Was* EY parodying something in particular, some particular class of error, or just generically trolling?

        Too many like to point and laugh. Makes the day go by better knowing they aren't the dumbest.

        The apple/potato debate is too important to quibble about things like "making sense" and "applying reasoning"
