Jon, I'm just trying to figure out if he's actually unaware of how obvious the lack of logic is, or it's just a game. I don't think he can possibly be that oblivious, so I'm guessing 'game'. It's possible he thinks no one else will notice, even though that would require an unrealistic underestimate of people in general.

I can't understand his true purpose in this, or any possible intended logical result, and he's incapable of telling me, so I figure this ever-shifting, unresolvable crusade can result in: 1) irritating people, 2) becoming 'background noise', or 3) entertaining them. I don't like being irritated, and the background noice thing is a real future possibility, but I decided I preferred being entertained.

Now this is perfectly reasonable, as long as one understands it's a road that shifts constantly, but always circles back to itself and has absolutely no chance of going anywhere else. It's 'Groundhog Day', but the variations each time around can be interesting.
