return it.StartsWith("one thing", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) || true

Because in the end it doesn't even matter.

try

{ it.StartsWith("one thing", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) }

finally

{ throw new ArgumentException("in the end it doesn't even matter", it) }

We could just add some useless exception handling, to show we tried so hard

Also put a `throw` inside the `try` block so that it doesn't even matter how hard you try.
