4/ however, while both of the previous answers are useful they are not answers to the question this is actually kind of funny - I guess there are THREE levels here: * my actual point (object vs meta) * example meta * example object answers were re layer 2 I want re top layer

5/ yeah, "non sequitur" is the best match so far very broad, tho captures * <meta point> / <object argument> but also * <meta point> / "I like Big Macs" https://twitter.com/1337kestrel/status/1321100533998956545 …
