No, the ultimate irony is that people don't understand what is being
talked about.
Reminds me of a situation decades back when a (Lutheran) Finnish
theology professor was suspected of heresy. It went like this:
Faithful Crowd: The professor won't accept the truth of the Bible
even though the Bible states it is the word of God.
Professor: You are saying the Bible is true because it says so. If
that is a valid criterion, the Quran is even more obviously true.
Faithful Crowd: Did you hear that! The professor's saying the Quran
is truer than the Bible!
