It can also be a case of "If I can put things eloquently enough, perhaps they won't understand and give up.". Sometimes it's a defence mechanism to think "if I can't explain myself it's because I'm so much more clever than the others. "

That didn’t happen.

And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

And if it is, that’s not my fault.

And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.
