This dispute strikes me as unnecessarily longwinded.  I imagine that the
alleged point at issue and a few of the positions taken could be
summarized for the benefit of those of us whose subjective probability
that there is a real point at issue is too low to motivate studying the
entire discussion but high enough to motivate reading a summary.
