   Nope, plus:  Non sequitur.   
      
   That was a response to your claim that the combat platforms are   
   "systematically considered more important."  Thus I responded with a   
   relatively famous quote showing the claim to be false.   
      
   Given that you felt the need to delete the context that was literally two   
   lines above it and then lie about it:  I accept your blanket concession   
   of the entire discussion.
