I don’t know why your post got 0 points and no replies. But one of the reasons may be that it is hard to extract what the central point or conclusion you are trying to make is.
My comment gleaned 4 karma by taking the definition you introduce in the first sentence and tracing the implications using the reasoning Clippy mentions. This leads to the conclusion that I am literally in the epistemic state that is used in a hyperbolic sense by the character Shcultz from Hogans Heroes. While humour itself is hard to describe things that are surprising and include a contrast between distant concepts tend to qualify.
(By the way, the member Clippy is roleplaying an early iteration of an artificial intelligence with the goal of maximising paperclips—an example used to reference a broad group of unfriendly AIs that could be plausibly created by well meaning but idiotic programmers.)
