Jim, the meaning is not special. It is just different than the vast
oversimplification you drew from the diagram by just looking at it.
Correcting this would be easy -- submit to being educated about it. But
that is a choice you are determined to never take, and so you will never
learn what tens of thousands of others absorb and comprehend EASILY every
year. Instead you will bleat from your tiny soapbox: "I dare you to TRY to
make me understand it."

When are you going to learn that your interpersonal game of bait and dodge
is tiresome for normal people?
