It's like that moment when you've hired a contractor and you ask if they need a flat head or Phillips head screwdriver and they give you a blank look.
Or if you ask your kid's basketball coach if they'll playing zone or man-to-man and they give you a quizzical "huh?" look.
Or if someone says they know a lot about the Civil War but then tells you the South wasn't fighting to preserve slavery.
Now, take the original scenario and imagine that your contractor is the most powerful person in the world, has access to the nuclear codes, and has the fate of the world's multi-century experiment with constitutional democracy resting in their hands.
It's like if the College of Cardinals emerged from their Conclave to announce that Joe Spicoli will be the next pope.
