Indeed. That's how Klawn rolls. He can't argue honestly, because to do so
would require him to admit error. His inferiority complex keeps him from
admitting being wrong.

Of course, he wouldn't have gone down this path with
"broadcasting" if not for Ackley's defending his lunacy with the
quibble about Hardball not being broadcast.
