Touché.

Touché indeed. But before you celebrate too much, I submit Jon was talking

Not really.  And not you particularly either, although perhaps others know

It was meant as a reminder to us all that we should examine our positions and
conclusions carefully. Name-slogging probably doesn't help.

But it would be very instructive to me to start with a simple perspective and
carefully examine it - longer threads tend to get pretty confusing (at least to
me). Although perhaps it's already been done elsewhere.
