It wasn’t like that at all! ” argued the Sleuth, looking around for support. “It was a heroic, selfless act of spectacular bravery! I should be worshipped like a god! Immortalised in song! ” He struck a dramatic pose, “One man, alone and outnumbered, sacrificed himself for the greater good…”“ Immortalised in song, eh?” chuckled Mick. “How about ‘ridiculed in nursery rhymes’? .Aaron DEste
About This Quote
It wasn’t like that at all!” is a common retort to references to an event in which everything went wrong. The idea is that the person who made the remark did not experience or witness the event they are discussing, or that their interpretation of the event is entirely inaccurate. The problem with this retort is that it provides no information on how to fix the situation. It doesn’t offer any details on how to avoid the problem in the future. The Sleuth might be able to avoid the same fate in the future if he had more important things to focus on than making sure everyone knows what happened after his clumsiness was already made public.
