The irony of the words on his pedestal often lies in their contrast to the individual's actions or legacy. For instance, if the pedestal bears an inscription celebrating virtues like justice or humility, yet the person it honors is known for corruption or arrogance, it highlights a dissonance between ideals and reality.

Ultimately, it underscores the gap between what is professed and what is practiced.
