You seem not to have read (or understood) the grandparent. The list you are attempting to satire was presented as an example of what not to do. The actual point of the parent is that bothering to provide such a list is almost as much of a confusion as the very kind of escalation you are attempting.

It has only remained in this conversation for the purpose of bridging an inferential gap with people still burdened with decades old decision theory.
