Not at all.
Actually, I like most what I said myself:

That's why I suggested it. It was not my product, though. I heard this

Don't forget: the yI- can also mean "you-it"!
{yInajQo'} "don't dream it" (okay, dream can't take an object)
{yIvang} "act it" (this don't make sense either, but you know whatta mean)
