Absolutely; in fact, that&#039s one of the things I, personally, tend to focus on; I can generally justify everything I do. You know how they say to drive defensively? My slogan is "Live defensively".

Not only does he miss the obvious in the first place, he doesn't acknowledge that the alleged inconsistency is shown to be nonsense.

But then, that's pretty much true of every "inconsistency" he ever talks about, such as redistributing grades vs. money. It's as if he thinks we should act without regard for context. I wouldn't want to be caught contradicting myself by taking a step toward my refrigerator when I would refuse the exact same step on the edge of a cliff.
