In theory, I can see that.
In practice, I offer at least one data point of someone who regards it
less as a bizarre non-sequiteur and more of an invitation to hear a

me one less as a modern thinker and more as a dasher of expectation.
And I certainly won't pay much attention to anything they subsequently
say.
