I’m sad this comment was interpreted as “combative” (based on Elizabeth’s reaction). It’s probably a reasonable prediction/interpretation, but it’s far from what I intended to communicate. I wanted my comment to be interpreted with some irony: it’s sad that this post has to be written like this in order to get through to most readers, because most readers are not already at the point where they can benefit from its wisdom unless it’s presented to them in this manner.
