you know, lurkette, if my post was two lines long, i'd have come in and said yes you are right it was a jump mea culpa etc.
but it wasn't two lines long.
the problem your post poses for me is not its-----um-----selective editing of what i wrote--that happens lots in this kind of format...
the problem comes from my not being sure of what to make of your decision to route a banal logical point, which mayb be formally correct in itself, but which is wholly undercut by the fundamental mistake of ignoring context, through a patronizing reference to the sat.
no-one, not even the greatest of chess masters, would presume to have worked out an entire game based on the first move in isolation.
the first move only becomes other than arbitrary when it is followed by a second.
context matters.
if you have a problem with the substance of what i wrote, then speak to that.
i'll check back later, if i remember to....
