Accepted history tells us that Henry asked, to the members of his Court, the following question: "Will no one rid me of this (expletive deleted) priest?"

For the sake of this discussion, let us assume this accepted history is true. Was Henry then guilty of murder? No, he was not. Did he have a part in the murder? Yes, undoubtedly his accepted position as King rendered his question a strong incitement to murder.

If the word sycophancy has any meaning at all, then a case for an instance of sycophancy can accurately be said to have been triggered in the true murderers' latency for sycophantic behaviour by Henry's use of the symbols of his office, his conduct of it to the point of his asking that question of his Court in the presence of the true murderers, and the contextual meaning of the expletive deleted.

Since DWA has several times in TT posts used the word sycophancy to describe similar phenomena of "proximate cause", I ask this TT court to pronounce DWA "inadvertent liar most foul (ILMF)".
