Do we need the word 'inane' in a sentence which already includes the words 'Clarkson' and Hammond'
A tad tautologous peut-etre?

i particularly liked the definition of the word 'tautologous.
"In some cases an acronym or abbreviation is commonly used in conjunction with a word which is actually part of the shortened form. One of the better known examples of this is "PIN number", which is often used when explaining the concept. Other common examples include ATM machine, ISBN number, HIV virus, UPC code, VIN number, DVD disk and RAID array. This phenomenon is humorously, self-referentially referred to as RAS syndrome (Redundant Acronym Syndrome syndrome)'
