He reminds me of my Dad. Halfway through *the first sentence* he has
already guessed ahead to what you obviously are going to say (which is is
always incorrect) and then goes on a virulent tirade against what you were
never going to say in the first place.  And then it's impossible to correct
his internal model of your internal model (!) so I usually just give up.
Which I've pretty much done here.  Sleep apnoea is a vicious condition.
