If lekatt were anyone else - i would agree with that reasoning - but he truly seems to believe that you can “wish your way” out of everything - so, IMHO, he is claiming that his “talking to the guy about love and happiness” somehow helped to ‘force cancer into remission’ - just not directly so he can weasel his way out of it later.
Now - if I were cancer - and lekatt was talking to my host - I would sure in the fuck want to get the hell out of there.
