4D chess isn't real. Sometimes, rich and powerful people do dumb things. Sometimes they're not very smart and have a visible personality disorder. Searching for an underlying clever motive is an exercise in your intelligence - not theirs.

I don't think "they made me buy it so I'm breaking it" is really a 4D move. It's more like a 4th grade move.

"I'm going to do what I want despite all advice and consequences" doesn't need to be intentional or unintentional to be what it is
