I was simply using an analogy to express what passes for philosophy these
days. Since analogies are a form of poetic license freely used by your
esteemed author, it seemed an appropriate way to summarize my take on
Platt's analysis of the MoQ. My statement was obviously intended as
criticism of a thesis, not a personal "insult".
If there is any "overly emotional tone" in this thread, your hysteric
reaction is the first evidence of it.
