Lawrence,
"Ruling a big state is like frying a tiny fish.", as the Old Master
says. Is it really that distracting to clarify, in good humour, a little
problem that's more one of logic than of factual uncertainty? As logic
cannot change the facts, a statement contradicting the facts must
contain a fallacy. Some of us indicated that this consisted in the use
of ambiguous terms, the polemical tone grew because you would not even
admit the existence of a fallacy. As far as I can see, it was you and
not Andreas who started this indeed " insignificant and puerile
tangent". And you're right, it's not worth bothering, so here I'm back
to my lecker Hallgartner Riesling.
