Needless to say, I disagree with you on this topic. I can't make a better argument than the book from which I pulled those quotations, so I'll direct people who are interested there.
I wasn't hunting down your posts, was just continuing the thread.
And I don't think I was being arbitrary. When challenged on your point you merely pointed to the quotes you had made and told people to read the book, which to me is pure dogma.
So admittedly I got a bit snarky. Although I was also attempting to be a bit self critical, which was why I referenced that quotation.
