But I assume the question in the Subject: is what he -meant- to put in the
post body (sort of like writing your question on the outside of your envelope
on the back, enclosing a blank sheet, and mailing it).

Duress B Sorcery
Target opponent reveals his or her hand. Choose a noncreature, nonland card
from it. That player discards that card.

And, since this has to target AN OPPONENT, and since a player can never be
their own opponent, this can't target the caster of the spell in any way,
regardless of whether you're trying to do so originally, or trying to do so
by picking a legal opponent to target and then change the target.
