There is no "maybe" about it, and reading the rest of your response brings
no further understanding. Since we apparently are not speaking the same
language, and further effort in understanding what you are trying to say is
unlikely to be rewarded by any form of enlightenment, I will gracefully
concede whatever point you were trying to make.
