I have a cousin who used to write me 10,000-word e-mails. In response, I would write back a yes-or-no question of about 20-30 words. In response, he would write another 10,000 words. I would write back another short yes-or-no question. Then he would send another 10,000 words. Then I gave up.

So now that's the dodge, huh?

You can believe what you chose to believe.

I wrote to you explaining the how and why your own comments were not entirely true, providing some limited example for that.

Short declarative statements can be easy enough to make.

Examining the component parts of those statements, and what the implications for them are, is quite another, and does take some time and effort, particularly when there are layers of complexity to it all.

It's just the way it goes.

I'm not your cousin.
