Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
In this great scheme of things you receive an A+ with regard to effort. Exactly where you lost everybody was first in the specifics. You know, it is said, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be much more correct at this point. Having said that, let me reveal to you just what exactly did deliver the results. Your text is rather convincing and that is possibly why I am making the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, despite the fact that I can see the jumps in reasoning you come up with, I am not necessarily convinced of just how you seem to connect the points which in turn produce your final result. For now I shall subscribe to your position but wish in the future you actually connect the dots much better.
