Is wit unwitted a wit?
Yes?
To give so much value to wit that it could not be
unwitted seems unfair. Perhaps if it were capitalized
"Wit" such as uncorruptible or absolute wit, then we
would think unwitting would be inappropriate or even
impossible. Or we might say that unwit is a kind of wit,
but that's just a twisting of words. Maybe if we are
considering wit as only the measurement of wit; that
someone scores some points with wit but could not be
considered "witty". Or maybe we mean ironically... But
all of this is water under the bridge, because the other
solution is simpler.
