This fellow (I'll call him John) has a contractor's saw (not sure of the

So John installs the insert and proceeds to hold it down from above with
a block of wood ...

So while John is turning the crank with his right hand to raise the
blade, he is holding the block in place with his left hand (I think he
had his left index finger extended; I'm not sure), and as you might
expect the block shifted around a little bit, and WHAM! The blade grabs
the block and virtually *disintegrates* it, which in turn disintegrates
the push stick, which in turn disintegrates the index finger...

Stupid wins again...

Yeah I would say stupid lost.
