46Throughout the awesome scheme of things you get an A+ just for effort and hard work. Where you lost me personally ended up being in the specifics. As they say, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn’t be much more correct here. Having said that, allow me tell you precisely what did work. The text is incredibly convincing and that is most likely why I am making the effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, although I can see the jumps in reasoning you make, I am not necessarily convinced of how you seem to unite the ideas which produce your conclusion. For the moment I shall subscribe to your point however wish in the future you connect the dots better.
