No.

I'm sorry for interjecting such a random reference into the conversation, but it just popped into my head right then. And I'm weird so...

Edit: my friend has a Maine Coon. I'll ask if it's a polydactyl. Interesting that it has that genetic trait.

as soon as you enter the country the murderous part of your brain detaches from the rest and slides into your mouth, which explains the way they talk.

"Then also to he would do something rediculous each day so it was hard for them to have time and cover the previous stuff more in depth."

It's not exactly the same but that tactic reminds me of the Gish Gallop technique.

"The Gish gallop is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments. Gish galloping prioritizes the quantity of the galloper's arguments at the expense of their quality."
