It's a memory rule, not a logical rule.

if we look again at the insult sword-fighting, the first part was logic which could be replaced by memory, I mean you could have memorized the whole response set, but you could also connect between "dairy farmer" and "cow" without actually memorizing it, and the second part (swords master) was pure logical, you needed to connect "milk" to "cow" without ever seeing that insult before.

here, you just memorize, you couldn't apply logic (e.g. "cross-eye" is a response to "lazy-eye") even if you wanted to.
