I am certainly grateful to those who pointed out that the word "hijack" was not being used literally but as a metaphor. However they might have guessed that I was aware of this if only because I described it as a metaphor. My point was that it is a ludicrous metaphor. I believed that I had made this clear by using the phrase "ludicrous metaphor". There is no connection between what happened here and a hijacking. To pretend that there is a connection is ludicrous.
