Well, you were doing a very good job of recapping my original comment, though I would add to #3 that I also suggested that if WW did approach those numbers, he would most likely only do it by cannibalizing Decker and Thomas.
From there though, I think you must have taken off in that rocket to the Moon, if those thirteen pages of comments struck you as "No, no arguments". But I do think it is interesting how we can all read the same thing, yet come away with such disparate interpretations.
