Excuse me? Point 1 was a hypothetical statement intended to summarize
arguments made earlier, and the lines right below it in my posting
indicated I thought it was a strawman argument also. Perhaps I should
suggest you bother to read the posts you follow-up on before you waste
net.bandwidth on obvious errors.
