Which is why the Unabomber thought the phrase was backwards. You can have your cake and also eat it, as long as you do it in that order. But if you eat it then you no longer have it. So the phase should be "You can't eat your cake and have it".

And putting weird phrases like that in his manifesto was a sortof linguistic fingerprint that made people say "Hey I know a guy who says crazy shit just like that..."

If the cake bit strikes a chord with you, I'd stop reading there.

That's a very common mistake people make. it's like saying "ATM Machine" and "Could've" are fingerprinting techniques that the average person would be able to pick up on.

The wife picked up on his IDEAS from his manifesto. Not from phrases he used.
