If that is your goal, you couldn't be doing a worse job of it.

I disagree. I highly appreciate @alterom's perspective and clear elucidation, and think the discussion has been fantastic.

Well this comment of yours doesn't help either.

Genuinely curious if you've read the rest of what I wrote, and have any thoughts (objections? agreeing with anything?) regarding specific things that I said - or you just stopped at that first sentence to write this (content-free) response.

Please let me know.
