Paraphrasing Andy Rooney (whom I usually can't stand) last night: 'If anybody

Note the subtle implicature, that R. Paul did stand him (Andy) yeterday.
Note too that a pedant would have wrong paraphrased:
"If anybody says she or he is undecided, he or she is not undecided: one is
stupid."
Is "undecided" a verb?
Cheers,
