Is this the setup for a joke I'm not getting? Twice he used the term 'dis-morph-ia'.

a. he usually speaks hyperbolically
b. astronauts died of burning, not breathing oxygen
c. exceptions don't disprove a rule
His point remains that a plethora of anecdotes in which there are no counter-examples is compelling evidence.
His biggest gaff today wasn't mispronouncing dysphoria, it was saying "against Democrats" when he meant to say "against Republicans".
He's an older guy who does a lot of talking, so gaffs are to be expected. We still understand the meaning. I wasn't confused by his point even though he accidentally said the exact opposite of what he meant to say.
