At least one person downvoted the above. If someone who did is reading this: I would be very interested to know why. (I don't at all object to being downvoted. But if I'm thinking incompetently or writing badly or being obnoxious or something, I'd like to know what's wrong so that I can fix it. And I haven't been able to figure out what's downvote-worthy in the parent of this comment.)
