The comment above about wanting 'the last word' is yet another example of that. It's just made up stuff attributed to me that has nothing to do with what I was thinking and writing.
I'm not sure if you understood the OP, but you went off topic in your first reply (after the question had been answered pretty much already). The thread descended from there into the mess you describe.
I think people are struggling to understand your point (I certainly am). It may be perfectly clear to you, but not to others.
