The point is that it was a coincidence, not irony.
A diabetic getting hit by a Hostess truck is coincidence.
A diabetic getting hit by an insulin truck is irony.
Doing one thing then switching to another thing where you find reference the the first thing is coincidence.
I could go on, but I won't because it's redundant and a really stupid thing to have an argument over.
