I agree that would in fact be a pretty innocuous non-answer, if it wasn't deep within the context of him trying to make his point, whatever that was, exactly.

You actually missed the entire point? Wow. Just ... wow.

Except the part about referring to two different things, then yeah.

Oh, no way. It's far better to roll slowly around the lot a few times, then stop right in the middle of the aisle — hopefully a cross-aisle, too — and hold up cars behind you for 10 minutes while you wait for somebody to load his or her groceries, strap their kids in the backseat, adjust their mirror, turn on the…
