Luke patiently explained to me that "received" and "shipped" are terms which have new meanings in this crazy digital age, it is now possible to receive a shipped item without it actually being delivered. Therefore any suggestion that he hasn't received his unit is "slander".
I thought this was an interesting perspective.
But he clarified things by telling me that he was only referring to the definitions of "shipped" and "received" which were set down in the shipping bet- the bet he called badly worded, flawed, and said he had nothing to do with; the bet which he doesn't want to be associated with (and how dare anyone associate him with the bet). But the definitions are a different issue, those he is happy to adopt, but just don't tell him he's acting in a misleading way, because it was the terms of the bet that were misleading when they were first posted
on the website, but when Luke uses these terms he is just being
honest and
consistent- to suggest otherwise would be "slander". True story.
