In the great design of things you’ll secure a B+ for effort. Exactly where you actually misplaced us was on your details. As it is said, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be more correct here. Having said that, let me say to you just what did give good results. The article (parts of it) can be highly powerful and that is probably why I am taking the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, although I can easily see the jumps in reason you make, I am definitely not confident of just how you appear to unite the ideas which inturn produce the actual final result. For the moment I shall subscribe to your position but wish in the foreseeable future you actually connect the facts better.
