As I've said before, Fred, I feel you have an unfortunate habit of replying to a long message, and making one short argumentative reply, often apparently tangential to the main point of the post you're replying to. I think this does little to advance the discussion. Certainly it rarely helps me understand what you're talking about. All the more so when you give several replies like that in a thread.
If you'd like to make a concrete point here, I'd suggest you go for a couple of paragraphs, stating whatever it is that you're trying to state from first principles, and showing how you'd apply them in this particular situation.
On the upside, I see you've switched over to a mail client that is more compliant with standards. Thanks for that.
