Ah, the Jordan Peterson defense. "That depends on your definition of 'have', 'used', 'a', and 'computer'."
God damnit I read this in his dumb voice
Why not use the Clinton defence "That depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is."
Which gets made fun of a lot but it's not as vapid as it sounds. He said "There's nothing going on" with Monica Lewinsky because, at the time he was asked, there wasn't. He was accused of lying, and that was his defense, because interpreting "is" in the typical sense of referring to the present tense made his statement accurate.
