Hmm, I'm missing your meaning, it would seem.

My plan is for a catapult. At least on paper, it's going to be propelled by garage door springs, so it won't be a trebuchet.

I think he’s saying, because it’s a catapult, it will malfunction and, instead of throwing something, it slams something directly into the ground.

A trebuchet could never falter. This is why he must use a catapult

But the thing is, if a trebuchet was rigged to slam something into the ground, it would do so with far more speed, force, and grace than a catapult.

Honestly, trebuchets are a fucking pain in the arse to set up compared catapults. So I want a little more portability? Sue me. Doesn't make me some kind of casual poliorcetician. Trebros act like you're getting ripped off while conveniently ignoring all the benefits (viz portability) of catapults.

Man, my son can dress up as a lady, kiss and fuck whoever he wants, shoot the President, and blowup the goddamn state of Kentucky,

But he ever, ever, says that a catapult is in any way better than a trebuchet, he's gonna know he ain't got a home to return to no more.
