Actually, you do not digress here, Lar. The original point with which I started
this thread was that o-t.d had become a quagmire where meaninful debate gets
dragged down into the muck by the same old circular logic. The fact that this
has happened again proves the point better than I ever could have argued. And

on-topic for off-topic.debate?)
