Huh.

Well, OK then. @superdug keeps posting and responding and seems to be acting like a human, so maybe it's just me.

There is a chap in the Hitchhiker's Guide fan club who I've known online for >20Y who is a native English speaker, but his comments and posts online read almost like bot-generated text. Most of them, I have to ask him to explain, often 3 or 4 times, until he can produce something coherent to other humans. His grammar and spelling are perfectly fine but his mind works weirdly and he writes about references to passing thoughts that occurred to him and is not able to recognise that others do not share those random associations. Some of my friends have got so irritated with it, they've just blocked him.

Perhaps this is a case a little like that? It makes almost no sense to me, but apparently, it does to you, so maybe the failing is on my end.
