They are right Road Runner, your post was a switch and bait.

I was attempting to get them to refine their argument and to make a point about understanding and what one person means by a wor another may not.    If you look at my conversation with Matilda , I wasn’t trying to hide anything or to pull a fast one.

I see what you mean. Some parts of mythology can be truths to others....and it depends on your research.
