I Like your piece but you need a proof reader.
“I say the point is entirely mute,”
I think you intend MOOT meaning debatable. Not MUTE meaning silent. Actually within the context of the piece the word irrelevant might be more to your intention.
Good premise, though!
A am not the author but if I had caught that, I would have corrected it. Thanks.
The author clearly intended the word moot, and clearly intended us to take the meaning of no significance which is a valid sense of the word.
