I fully and totally agree with every bit of this.

Wow. I am such scum. Let this be a lesson to me.
I sent, under separate cover, an apology for quoting that bit. But for the record, Sean has presented here a highly edited quote of what I wrote. I quoted a very long paragraph from Steven, virtually all of which I agreed with. I made a mistake by leaving in this line.
Someone finding Sean's post here might assume (if they didn't check the history) that I was agreeing with the assessment of Sean's part in this discussion as "waving a red herring". I don't, and I apologize to Sean for inadvertantly also quoting this bit.
I don't appreciate my words being edited down in this fashion, which I feel might confuse people. But nonetheless the blame rests squarely on my shoulders for writing such a dramatic statement without properly checking _every bit of this_. That was wrong of me.
