    Not sure why you’re putting a definition of abject here? Are you saying that they should have said abject instead of object? That would mean something different.

    object lesson
    noun
    something that serves as a practical example of a principle or abstract idea
    Examples of object lesson in a Sentence
    His life story is an object lesson in how not to run a business.

      Maybe they were suggesting a new term of art? I don’t know. I avoided up or downvoting because I couldn’t tell if they were trying to be clever or confidently wrong.

      I try to assume the best in people but… the world is full of all kinds. I’m hopeful, though.

        Yeah, that’s why I said “not sure”, but I figured since they put a definition, it would be OK for me to also put a definition.
