golfgal, if there were an award given for verbosity en route to unintelligible gibberish, I would nominate you. And, believe me, there’s plenty of competition here on the internet.
Despite all of the obfuscation in your recent posts, this issue is really simple. You made a point. It’s patently clear to anyone at a high school reading level the point you were trying to make. When I clearly revealed that your point was ridiculous, you then proceeded to backpedal and re-characterize what you originally said as something different (and less ridiculous). This, as opposed to just admitting, “Oh, I guess I was wrong.”
No amount of econo-babble is going to change this fact. But in a perverse way, I’m enjoying reading as you expand the hole you’re digging for yourself in various directions. Don’t stop now.
