I'm drawing a distinction that you don't make or can't make? Like I
said I expect a group of people whose existence as a distinct entity
you are unaware of to be helpful. The initial conflict stemmed from
confusion on my part that you belong to that group. However, as you've
repeatedly made clear you don't, so I was wrong to have been critical
of you. I apologize for the confusion.
