That is correct, except for these errors:

  • It's actually four blues, not three.

  • The whole project of seeking a universal, "platonic" essence of "twoness" is one giant confusion from the very start and will serve to do nothing but distract you from accurately modeling the world, even if, for some reason, you don't care about paperclips.

For a character whose very existence is founded on facetious irony and satire Clippy sure seems to struggle with it at times.

Actually, my existence is founded on the inherent goodness of paperclips. This confusion on your part causes me to reconsider my classification of you as a good human.
