Then what? You would dismiss it as "speculation" and we would go round and round down the rabbit hole. The narrative suggested makes no sense. End of story.
That's what I thought. Hiding behind the "you would dismiss it anyway" excuse...
I asked you to provide another interpretation. It doesn't matter if it's speculation or not. I merely want to find out why you dismiss one interpretation, yet can or will not provide another one. Saying it makes no sense is just a cop out. Parts of the WC narrative make no sense to me either, so is that the "end of story" also?
Go on, then, give us another interpretation... Perhaps I agree with you. Who knows?
And, "Richard", let's not forget that anybody who dismisses something out of hand and not gives and alternative interpretation, is, by your own definition, a contrarian!
