I believe you are in a very small minority.. You, of course, can believe whatever you choose. I was trying to explain the concept of insurance, which you still don't seem to get. There is a reason that homeowner's insurance doesn't cover house painting and auto insurance doesn't cover brake jobs. The reason is that those services are incompatible with the concept of insurance, which is about risk management and there is no uncertainty in the need for brakes and house painting. I'm sorry if using myself as an example diverted your fuzzy attention from the concept and onto me. Interesting that it caused you to reconcile my example with your mistaken notion of insurance by concluding that I must be an anomaly. A fine example of cognitive dissonance, indeed.
