You really need to breathe into a paper bag, or something. I didn’t bring-up the treaty so, by definition, I cannot be ‘shifting’ the subject by asking about it.
You weren’t asking about the treaty - you were just asking to be obnoxious. If you had read what editor-surveyor wrote, it clearly explains it. But, anybody with a tiny bit of common sense would logically conclude the answer - which gives you license to ask, I suppose.
