ace, my point is that he didn't really set up this thread as an invitation to a debate or discussion. It was set up as an apparatus meant to tumble in such a way that was preplanned, like a trap. He was looking for an aha! moment and didn't get it because the setup was tactless and most members here are too sophisticated to be drawn into that kind of setup.
It's a question that wasn't meant to be answered logically. It's a leading question. It answers itself.
The problem remains: what's the point being made? It's not yet clear.
The question wasn't thought-provoking to me. It actually made me roll my eyes.
What are we supposed to do here? Answer the question truthfully, say "duh," and move on to the next thread?
