Thoughts?
I have posted this before (but I can't explain it).
I once posted intentional gibberish as a reply to one of Dawn's nonsensical posts.
He then argued
in favour of what I had written (because I had made it sound 'religiousy').
I then told him that I had intentionally posted gibberish.
He then argued
against the gibberish I had posted.
At no point did he show a proper understanding of anything I had written.
It reminds me of simple language learning software.
He can create sentences that reasonably adhere to the rules of English, but they often do not actually make sense.
But he can't actually understand English - he just looks at patterns/positions of words and tries to remember the pattern.
He sees the sentence "Tom has a green hat" and concludes that "Saturn has a green hat" should also make sense.

And I wish that I were you
All the things I'd do
