They said a dog couldn’t play basketball; they said a dog couldn’t shave. You said you were out.
But you’re all wrong.
You have the AirBud point but you’re choosing to not use it. But that’s the ultimate AirBud thing to do. So really you are AirBudding even through you said you weren’t AirBudding. Which, is, obviously, AirBudding.
Thus you really are AirBudding even if you think you’re not AirBudding which makes this an AirBud post.
Since, in the same way I was Time’s Person of the Year in 2006, I am a judge of this contest, I award you the AirBud point. Congratulations, you’re not the first one out.

I was confused. So obviously, I asked Claude to explain this to me:
The quote you’ve shared is making a meta-joke: It’s suggesting that choosing not to use an Air Bud-style loophole is itself an Air Bud move, since presumably there’s no rule saying you can’t choose not to use an Air Bud loophole. Then it takes this further, noting that this creates a recursive loop - the very act of saying you’re not using an Air Bud loophole becomes an example of using one.
It’s a clever piece of circular logic that plays with the concept of self-reference, similar to paradoxes like “this statement is false” or the classic barber paradox.
In terms of strict logical reasoning it falls apart under scrutiny because:
Not doing something isn’t automatically an example of that thing (not playing basketball doesn’t make you a basketball player)
The core premise of “Air Budding” is exploiting a specific loophole to do something novel - simply not doing something doesn’t fit that definition
It’s like saying “By refusing to be a rebel, you’re rebelling against rebellion, which makes you a rebel!” It’s not actually logically sound.
I’m calling you out for a rules infraction.
