Naturally, and I wasn’t claiming it was. That being said, I think that when you single out a specific point of disagreement (without mentioning any others), there is an implication that the mentioned point is, if not the only point of disagreement, then at the very least the most salient point of disagreement. Moreover, I’d argue that if Duncan’s only recourse after being swayed regarding sequence versus cluster thinking is “huh, then I’m not sure why we’re getting such good results”, then there is a sense in which sequence versus cluster thinking is the only point of disagreement, i.e. once that point is settled, Duncan has no more arguments.
(Of course, I’m speaking purely in the hypothetical here; I’m not trying to make any claims about Duncan’s actual epistemic state. This should be fairly obvious given the context of our discussion, but I just thought I’d throw that disclaimer in there.)

Oh, hmm, this is Good Point Also.
