I did indeed read your document (twice, as I explicitly reported). I didn't address those parts because I found them better-supported. Instead, I addressed the parts I found confusing, and since your rebuttal here is just whining about what you think my behavior is, I continue to be mystified. That's okay; nobody expects you to explain yourself to me. If I thought it would help, I would suggest that perhaps a more effective defense would involve answering literally any of the questions I already asked. However, I don't appreciate accusations of bad faith based on your unwarranted assumptions about what I did or did not do and, bizarrely, what you imagine my motivations are. I'll just assume that the answers to the "why" questions I asked are rooted in similar wild-ass speculation.

...but your top post didn't ask any questions; certainly not ones that would justify a detailed answer.

It was several assertions, plus your admission of confusion. I mean, there are no stupid questions, but there wasn't even a question there, so I don't blame anyone for thinking you're communicating poorly.
