We often use the term "isolated event" to affirm the "purity" of something.
This doesn't mean the content of the event is refined and pure; rather, that it has no connection with other events that have happened or are yet to happen.
This kind of statement is mostly used in political contexts.
People often say an event is an "isolated event," unrelated to anything else. But how many political events can truly be as pure as an "isolated event"?
Not a single one!
Politics is driven by interests, without which no series of political actions could occur—this is precisely why politics lacks isolated events.
What does it mean when the Prime Minister publicly shakes hands with Lynch?

But is that the truth?
