Phrase of the Day (in someone’s (infinite) wisdom)-11SEP24

Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is in someone’s (infinite) wisdom and its meaning is “used in a sarcastic way to say that someone has stupidly done something”.

Example Sentence: Given India’s inadequate public health systems, a serious disease or malaise afflicting a single family member can push an average household into poverty. For life covers, the Council could take a more nuanced approach by extending most relief to pure term insurance policies that help families tide over shocks, rather than to myriad market-linked investment products offered by the industry in the guise of insurance. If, in the Council’s wisdom, helicopter services availed on a ‘shared seat’ basis must attract only 5% GST, insurance policies surely deserve more benign taxation too.
