USE:

- Use form two when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one statue present.
- Use form three when there are many instances of <thing> present, and you want to appear confused over one of them in particular.
- Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.

As is typical of most TriadCity commands, Confused searches for <thing>
in a specific order, starting with the room you're in, then your worn or wielded equipment,
then your inventory. So, if there's a box in the room, and a box in your inventory, the command
"confused box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use
"confused 2.box" for the latter.
Confused
can be modified with an arbitrary word of your choice.
Usually you'll use an intensifying adverb as shown in the examples
above. Note that
Confused
does not use this modifier as a search specifier when
looking for <thing>. Instead
Confused
displays this modifier via the Game channel.
Thus you can "confused mildly", "confused mightily",
and so on. You can also "confused 18373649" or "confused toothpaste-like",
so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.

His work, in other words, partakes of the archaeology of history, the superimposition of one layer of time upon another [...]"
