I have no idea if you did or not, although I'd tend to doubt it. I'm
asking what the phrase "to draw a longish bow" means, NOT trying to
critique the overall argument. I snipped it all away except for the
phrase because that's what I was asking about.
I showed my guess, inferred from context but I have no idea if I am
right or not, which is why I asked. Hope that clears it up.
