Yeah. That's definitely seems off, considering the source.

That's all I'm saying. Not that as a concept it's horrible, but I don't get it from him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm just not sure how primer is supposed to look and feel

I have to admit that if the caller was a woman asking if she could divorce her demented husband, I'm not sure Robertson would have answered the question the same way...
