There's actually a theological technique in Islam on which you value a judgment or truth based on who's pronounced it.
For example, in Islamic Persia, a lot of the big shots took a serious liking to wine. The story goes that when the churchman would go to the nobleman asking if it was wine he was drinking, the nobleman would say that he only heard form an infidel (the guy sold it to him) that the stuff was wine and so he didn't believe him.
This is all in Hitti and great fun.
Perhaps AA knows something about it but of course he will interpret all as a way to kill him.

If you tasted Persian wine you'd agree with me.
I think it was imported from Russia or worse.
delightful turn of events.
