Thank you for your response. In my response to you I had to edit it to remove some incorrect statements. I had to do that because I read into what you wrote some implications that you clearly did not intend. It’s so easy to do that.
As an aside, I am always happy to see this type of discourse, HN is such a rare place. A discussion about a topic with lots of division and when people disagree, they are friendly and reasonable about it. Kudos to both of you.
