Ergo, most most most. I'm not trying to bust your chops. I simply noticed that you try to be scrupulous with your logic, and perhaps this is a slip. Taken literally, we would have reason to doubt your statement, since it is 'most' likely you are of the class of 'most' people!

My views might be entirely wrong but it won't ever be because they agree with any majority view. Almost no one agrees with me. I belong to the smallest minority that exists, a minority of one.

If you discover I am wrong, it will be in spite of the fact that my "generality" cannot apply to me.

(I don't mean to say no one agrees with me, but I assure there are not many. As you've probably guessed, that does not bother me a whole lot. For one thing, it has taught me, people can be immensely enjoyable, no matter how much they disagree with me, so long as the dissagreement is not a threat of force against my person or property.)

Thank you for the kind comment about being scrupulously logical, and I certainly do make slips, and worse. I just don't think this is one. But don't worry about busting my chops. Sometimes that is the only way to get through someone's thick skull, and mine is thicker than I like sometimes. My wife has made me aware of this.
