Maybe he practices using obscure French words on Sunday instead of using banal English words.

Your performative insistence that you're incapable of comprehending his point is a tired and ineffective way to make your own.

Yes! That's exactly the fil conducteur: "It's how you use them" and "I control how they're used in my own house" reinforce each other. The latter is a concrete example of the former, not a contradiction.

Screens are general-purpose tools. Exercise judgment over how you use them instead of blaming the medium or prescribing abstinence to everyone else.

Maybe consider that "Why is everyone saying screens are bad? It's how you use them" "Oh by the way I control them quite tightly in my own house." is quite contradictory and not making any particular point?

It's a fool's errand trying to see patterns in clouds where there aren't any. Or pareidolia, if you want a fancy word.
