   Okay.  That makes quite a bit of sense.

   Um, That doesn't make sense to me.

   I don't know how to unpack that.  (I don't know as much about ∆ as I do   
   about Y.)

   That makes a lot of sense to me and what I'm accustom to hearing.

   Probably.

   That's different than I remember.  But I could be misremembering or had   
   the wrong understanding at the time.  I'll refresh myself and reply later.
