I think my replies to JumpCrisscross would help clarify a lot for them, however I'm uncertain they'll see - or bother reading my comments - since they were recently successful in helping flag/get other comments of mine blocked; maybe they also setup their forum to hide-block all comments from me?
Maybe reply to them and link my comments so they'll be at least aware there's a more thorough explanation-history shared with them?
