Hence my little caveat, because I don't like having to make assumptions about a person's beliefs and opinions. So unless we are clear on our terms upfront, we just end up talking past each other. You or I can say "well that's not what I believe", as you just did, and be right. I had to qualify it in the form of a hypothetical believer, simply to get the point across. And it still didn't get there, since you went for the motive behind the message and not the message itself.
