Ah, well, a comment about our comments.

We do read one another in odd ways. I find your constant questioning of posts to be a bit of a put off. To make that point a bit more clearly, if one advances a position and offers evidence, you find some point in it to question. Not so much the central point of the argument, nor the bulk of the evidence, but some small item.

When that's answered, you find yet another small point to question. In the meantime, you rarely offer a position of your own and advance some arguments for it.

After we had gone through several iterations of those sort of conversations, I just backed off. Too much work to offer serious thoughts, when it did not appear to be me you were taking them seriously. Nor offering positions of your own.

But life is full of surprises. Perhaps we'll surprise one another down the road.
