   *I* argued no such thing.  You've fallen into the trap of thinking   
   everyone here who is not you is the same person.  And you're not   
   trying to 'understand'.  You're trying to nitpick to get a 'gotcha'   
   moment.

   Surely the don't.  Why would they?  Why would you have all that   
   parallel capacity and what do all those folks do when you AREN'T

   OK with you being wrong" point.
