   As a "nigglened edge case", it would. If it had happened and was not   
   part of the War of 1812 which, in a time when communications were far   
   from instantaneous, dragged on for a bit.   
      
   And thanks for illustrating that even a clear point can be ignored by   
   people fanatically insistent on refuting it.
