Hutch,

Your reasoning is like a triangle
trying to pass itself off as a circular triangle,
as it is being touched by circles where each circle
shares only a single point with the triangle,
and no points lie on the triangles sides.

Ever hear about that way of thinking,
as in a circle ?

No matter what opinion you start out with,
no matter what information you receive after the start,
no matter what facts are showned to be true or false,
you always end up at the end of you thoughts,
which is the starting point
of the circle'ular thinking,
resulting with the same opinion
you started out with,
no matter what information was collected along the way
from the start to the end,
as your end equals your start.

Kinda what happens
when you try to explain something
but using itself as the explaination.

Like an Error Routine
trying to handle an external error
but while doing so
it itself, the Error Handler,
encounters an error,
and calls itself
to handle the error.

So your explaination,
which is your understand,
of the word maúnipúuúlaútion: n.
is to use that word
inside a sentence
to explain itself.

From: Hutch

maúnipúuúlaútion: n.
1.a) The act or practice of manipulating.
1.b) The state of being manipulated.

<<Just because you call it manipulation doesn't make it so.>>

Haven't there been arrests?

<legúend: n.
1.
a) An unverified story handed down from earlier times, especially one popularly believed to be historical.
c) A romanticized or popularized myth of modern times. >

Notice that just because it's a 'legend' doesn't mean it's not true or partly true...
