It's a common analogy here on GLP for those who say whatever makes themselves feel good or important, like somebody having to be poor so that I can feel rich.

The way he phrased it actually helps comprehension because occasionally some loser who wants to feel good or important will come along and pick the most asinine argument possible in order to look astute.

Here's what the bible says about over-logical left-brained asstutors:

Ecc 10:2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
Ecc 10:3 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
