That's the sort of thing an Catholic inquisitor would say. Denial proves guilt!

Not really a great analogy but okay.
It’s not like Scott Adams did nothing wrong and was pulled in front of an inquisitor. He said weird shit and then had to play a game of PR damage control.
If you spoke extemporaneously for an hour a day, every day, for years, and people went hunting for the most awkward or easily misinterpreted clip, I’m confident they’d find weird shit too.
If you truly believe that casual conversation will inevitably lead to any kind soul to speak a quote like that you have some serious warped morals.
It’s actually worse when you’re doing it as your job because you’re supposed to know better and be proficient at that craft. It’s not like someone hot micced him having a private conversation with his buddies, this was a man who had been interfacing with the public for decades.
