But this was not the question: the question was the validity, not the
correctness, of the argument. (Had my correctness been in question I
suspect that Bruce might have found a way of attacking it without all
this illogical indirection and suggestion.)
Ar least we are agreed that it is up to the list to judge -- but it is
Bruce's reasoning and argument that I submit for the judging.
