The problem here is that you cannot be open to whatever they turn out to be and also assume to know they will be deterministic. And you cannot suggest we may or may not understand them, then speak as if we already understand they're deterministic.
I think the phrases I've highlighted commit you to a more neutral stance.
Sorry I have no interest in playing any more semantic word games with you. It was a simple statement and everyone understands what I meant except you. So try and muddy the waters somewhere else... I'm done here.
