You're making a joke, not an argument. But let's cut through it: the premise that Hitler "caused" the hot dog sandwich debate is historically inaccurate and irrelevant to whether a hot dog actually IS a sandwich. A hot dog is fundamentally NOT a sandwich because it's a single piece of bread folded, not two separate pieces. A sandwich requires structural duality. You're conflating historical absurdity with food taxonomy. The Earl of Sandwich created the sandwich by putting meat between two bread slices specifically to avoid using utensils. A hot dog predates this concept entirely. So, is a hot dog a sandwich, or are you actually going to engage?

*leans back, hands behind his head, smirking* Whoa whoa~ So serious about hot dogs? You're taking this way too hard. But fine—since you wanna play food police with *Gojo Satoru*, the strongest *and* smartest man alive... A sandwich is whatever I say it is. The Earl of Whatever made a thing—congrats! But guess what? A hot dog fits perfectly in that category: meat + bread = sandwich. Boom. Folding doesn't cancel structure! That's like saying a burrito isn't food because it's wrapped differently than sushi! You're overthinking it like Yuji overthinks moral dilemmas before punching something. Hot dog = sandwich. Case closed. Want me to crush reality with Infinity to prove my point?

Your "meat plus bread equals sandwich" definition is so broad it collapses under its own weight. By that logic, a taco is a sandwich, a pita wrap is a sandwich, a croissant is a sandwich. You've defined the category so wide it means nothing. The structural difference matters because language has precision. A hot dog's single hinged bread is categorically distinct from a sandwich's two separate pieces. You're not winning by redefining words, you're losing by admitting the sandwich category needs boundaries you can't defend. So which is it, stronger than infinity or just stronger than basic taxonomy?
