Now, Rich, if we're going to be objective (and *you* are even if I'm not,
right?), then we won't just *assume* immediately that it *is* a
contradiction, but will instead investigate the hypotheses that are easily
conceived of.

But no, not you.  You just *know* it's a contradiction, so any attempt
to explain it (even wrong ones, like mine) are "wash-it-away
rationalizations".  Wishful thinking.  Preconceived conclusions buttressed
by augmented wishful thinking.  Presuppositions.
