There is not *the* *single*, correct, answer here.  There are *several* ways 
in which the posed problem can be approached; there are at least two.  You 
have suggested a different approach than I did (again, I am fully aware that 
the code I have referred to does not, *as it is*, solve the problem; it is a 
good start though).  Fair enough.  I have asked you above in which way you 
think your approach is better.  You have still not answered that question.

Do you even have *solid* arguments *why* your approach is the better one?

How did you get that idea?

Ex falso quodlibet.
