re: Warning - this is disturbing

Right. But that's what I was saying -- you're disagreeing with her at length and in detail because she's making a lucid argument that you can disagree with as opposed to an obtuse argument where you have no idea how to even address her points. That's all I meant..."lucid" as in "clear and comprehensible once you distill down the language," not as in "correct."

(Sorry, I'm working, so I don't have the free time get into a discussion of the excellent points you bring up, but I do appreciate reading them.)
