I think an apology is in order lest people here are falsely led to believe that what I originally wrote is incorrect.
I said confused, not incorrect. And I pointed out subsequently, it's not about your knowledge but about your understanding. It would be good that you read what I wrote, not what you think what I wrote. But I understand your situation only because in my professional life I met many people who were in your situation, you're trying to sort out things, and I like that in a person. And I said I would not go point by point as there is too much convolution, so I picked one particular point you've made. I did not address all of your points, it would not be conducive to a good dialogue. We are discussing right? We are exchanging ideas, right? I'm not trying to humiliate you, I have no interest in doing that. We'll talk another time, if that's ok with you.
