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.

I see you've been petting a cat and a dog.
