At first I read it as "Weird Al might destroy mankind" and was extraordinarily confused ๐Ÿ˜‚

No they aren't. They're only a problem when not raised right. They DO need a firmer hand in training like literally every strong breed, which not all owners realise and take into account, but neglecting that isn't their fault, it's on the bad owners.

I joined a dating service for Star Wars fans but it wasn't for me. My mistake was looking for love in Alderaan places

I have laid out compelling arguments based on the real world context of what's happening, what her words are most likely to mean given that context, even explained which part was misunderstood and what the most rational explanation for that was.

I've done part or all of that at least a handful of times in replies throughout the comments of this post. I have also conceded that it might have been an ill-advised way of saying things because a public figure being less than 100% clear about a statement regarding anything contentious can and most often WILL open the door to misinterpretations, whether honest or wilfully manipulative.

That's as close to "you are wrong, I am right" as a fiberglass canoe is to a shoddily made origami boat.

It's often used in place of an actual argument when the sea lion knows that their point isn't strong enough to withstand scrutiny.

Here's the origin of the term afaik:
