Yes.

And how do I explain what I do NOT understand?

N/A

Yes, I have.  And if you have read that, you know that preceding that
is the rule "Special cases aren't enough to break the rules."

You sir, have broken the rules, you should not be preaching

Now take your choir boys there and sit down.

I will be glad to discuss all these arcane measures, when you aren't
all being asswipes.

As I said, you're going something wrong.
