I want to thank you for writing this. I think this helps me understand your position (and the position of people with similar positions) a lot, and I appreciate your answering my question. I'm sorry that your comment has been downvoted more than upvoted, when you were answering a question that I asked. While I don't really agree with the conclusions, I do think this very much helped clear up your point of view, and also what you mean by those terms, and I thank you for it (and also upvoted you). thanks
