the mental image I had of being "hoist with one's own petard" was so off. have always imagined a flag-raiser strung up his own flagpole but it actually means being blown up by your own bomb. not a hoist type situation at all. far less comical even

a little funny that Foot, Anscombe etc were seen as especially humane in outlook. only an analytic philosopher would find someone morally sensitive for seeing the holocaust unfold and going ahh I wonder how this problematises the fact/value distinction
