# Yesterday's Calvin & Hobbes cartoon gave a reasonable justification for why

On a very similar note, I always explain 'Befuddle' like this:
Hitting someone with a Befuddle is kind of like spiritually
whispering in their ear: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" (or
some other such profound question).
An intelligent listener will pause, and say "hey, that's a good
question..."
A less intelligent foe will say "I don't care!" and will keep hitting
you with his axe.
