I asked the question in good faith; I wasn't implying anything and I was sincerely perplexed. Plus, it sparked a lot of good responses of which I'm thankful for. I've been multiply downvoted, though; now I'm curious of how that comment could have been interpreted as "wrong" or "provocative". Not whining or anything: just sincerely (again) curious.
