Don’t put it past them :) (but they knew what they were doing). Rebbi Moshe Shapira z"l says like this (see Looking into the Sun): There are three explanations of the word adam ("man"): One, a dam, "on blood", meaning self-control, on which Kelm put a focus. Two, adame la'elyon, "I will be like G-d", a reference to the greatness of man, on which Slabodka put a focus. And last but certainly not least: adam m'lashon adama, "dirt", meaning making a joke out of all those scary "ogres" in your life, whatever they may be (and thus watch all your problems disappear 1-2-3, l'maala m'derech hateva...that's why this third group make such great baalei mofeis miracle workers). You guessed it: Novardok! The passuk says in Mishlei: cherdas adam yitein mokeish, "the fear of man brings pitfalls", G-d forbid, but if there is no fear, then there is nothing to be afraid of... (See Nefesh haChaim 3:12). So get out the ice cream bars (or whatever works for you), keep away from negative people, and watch your yeshuos (salvations) fly in, better than ever, guaranteed.
