I deliberately chose the word, "inescapable" as I felt it to be both more meaningful and illustrative. Language is supposed to convey meaning, and that was exactly my intention. In this instance, Blighter cannot escape from the truth, it's going to hunt him down. Perhaps you could describe it as unyielding but I prefer my choice

Blighter is a geek - he's like a piece of Blackpool rock! If you cut him in half you'd see the word "GEEK"

But why waste time concentrating on someone's career choice, a potentially-life changing point in a person's life, when we could be discussing etymology, eh?
