"Rob" wrote

Actually the word "tort" means ---

"-noun Law .
a wrongful act, not including a breach of contract or trust, that
results in injury to another's person, property, reputation, or the
like, and for which the injured party is entitled to compensation."

and this is a long way from the meaning you inferred.

He implied, you inferred. :-)

You really shouldn't get into this kind of discussion on the internet.
Everyone inevitably make an error and then they look stupid. Could you
really not work out that he implied "thought"? Or were you not
thinking?
