I can't agree with that.
Knowing myself what must’ve happened is that when I got to the
“or they loose” part of his sentence my brain rejected it as nonsense so I tossed that part out in trying to extract the jist of what he was saying.
Unfortunately, my brain never compensates for people’s mistakes because I was a programmer for many years whereby, an error in source code meant a dead stop and the compiler refusing to process/proceed any further until the error is corrected.
I’ve made up for this shortcoming on forums, etc, by “skipping” portions that don’t make sense to me. It’s not easy having a literal mind but it came with the intense profession.
Had he written it correctly it would’ve definitely registered in my head and I would’ve instantly rejected that part of the deal.
