"The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that's why it's so essential to preserving individual freedom.” -- Milton Friedman

Wine In Front Of Me
and no, I'm not talking about a drink to go with your ham sandwich
It's a reference to the circular "logic" argument made by Vizini in the film Princess Bride in his "duel" with Wesley. Idea being: If person A says X, then surely he cannot be mafia. However, a smart mafia would know this so they would say X to lead us into thinking they weren't mafia. But then again, they might know that we know that such a tactic exists so they'd avoid it. Or they might think that we'd know they'd know that we might know....
Argument runs in circles forever -- and it is a useable mafia tactic for sowing confusion and creating doubt. I'm just teasing (can't know squat so far) that Beefy may be setting up such a WIFOM defense early on.
A fuller explanation is in Sasaki's dictionary in the stickies.

Many marvels in life are, unfortunately, hidden from all but a few... And some just don't live long enough to hit the wheel of fortune.

How are we supposed to know what's happening with the host using confusing doublespeak like that?
