Or should I -- or, more to the point, should YOU -- perhaps rather "blame" some illiterate fuckwit who incorrectly transcribed something from some book(*)?
I still don't get what the fuck you're quibbling about: Are you seriously saying that you seriously think this Gus Vitelli -- whoeverthefuck he is -- seriously intended to say that nonsensical(+) sentence that you have there?
Why would he? And what, if anything, are you suggesting he meant by it?
(*): Or other authored and published work that you're apparently referring to.
(+): Literally so: As written, it makes no sense.
