I think this might be overstating the case somewhat, even in that
scenario. Unfortunately, every attempt I've made to write out why,
explain my position, or argue my case, has gotten off into the weeds and
become clearly unhelpful even to my own eyes, and I don't want to
inflict that on this discussion.

Yes, this is definitely understandable. Thanks for clarifying that much,
at least.

I do hope to be able to get such an explanation / list at some later
point, if only to help expand my own perspective about how things can be
seen and better understand the world, but I can certainly see why you
wouldn't want to do it now.
