you out-perform a random sentence generator for bizarre irrelevancy and
batshit-insane incomprehensibility. and it's not deliberate, it's natural.

stop. no, really, stop. i'm not making friendly conversation or
indulging in light banter. i just want you to fucking stop. you're
not funny or amusing, or interesting or informative. you're just an
attention-trolling kook who wont shut up.

you weren't playing with language, you were just making shit up,
pretending to have a clue what you were talking about, and tossed in
a science-y sounding phrase about SNR as some kind of bogus appeal to
authority.

you're completely transparent and you're not fooling anyone.
