Exactly.... He points it out that we do it and acts like no one else does. We all know everybody does, so when it's pointed out, he says he knows but he wants us to be better and not have to do it? Which is of course impossible. He then makes up how bad it "hurts" us, and of course he can't provide proof that it hurts us more than anyone else.... So he then switches to 'why would I care how it hurts other programs'. Which was never the point or even discussed before, just continued deflecting and changing of the subject, as you said. All to keep the false narrative going. It's his game, always has been, nobody is this stupid. It's done on purpose. Different shtick, same style every year.
