I thought he said irony because, as he interpretted it, exactly what I said couldn't happen, happened, so it was ironic that I would say that.
I then explained why it wasn't ironic.
Your meaning is a much too political for his usual posts, though I do admit yours is the more intelligent interpretation.
Also, I don't buy the 4 sequels to the original Planet of the Apes as "canon." The original film ended perfectly with the humans anihilating eachother with nukes and chimps taking over in about 2000 years...though it would take much longer than 2000 years for evolution to work that well. They had to create 2 sequals to explain that disparity...which is why I think it should have ended with the first film.
