> I'm not missing the positive value of a post like this
You sure wrote like you were. You never even hinted at any of the things I brought up. Now you hardly even acknowledge any of it, except to say "I'm not buying it."
So I'll just leave one last comment: I am quite confident that you are wrong. Repeating the same arguments you've already made won't help. I don't know what it is that you're not seeing, or why you strike the balance so egregiously in what seems to most of us to be the wrong direction, but I'm not going to try to convince you. I know where you stand and that's fine; as long you remain in a small minority, I have little motivation to try to change that.
If you'd like to understand why you haven't convinced anyone here as far as I can tell, you could try re-reading some of the things people have said in a less pre-emptively dismissive fashion than it appears you have been so far based on your responses, and in that case maybe the comment I left above will be helpful to you, but regardless, I hope it's helpful to someone else.
