  > You understood my statement. Well, I have and stated a tentative understanding, but if I correctly understand your present response you seem to disagree with it. So...maybe not? > Also, seriously? This is just a smart sounding way to say that you think I'm dumb and that whatever is in your mind is the real truth. No, there’s a difference between “your description sounds like you probably mistook X for Y” and “you are dumb”. Obviously, its a disagreement about the part of the description that seems to report an interpretation rather than observable facts. > If you're going to put words in my mouth I didn’t put words in your mouth. > at least be charitable enough to disagree with me before or after your translation. “sounds like ... mistook <thing> for <other thing>” is explicitly both a report of a tentative understanding of what you were trying to say and a disagreement with it, along with a specific alternate interpretation. So, inasmuch as I should have disagreed with you...I did.
