I only had one response to this oversimplified nonsense the last time it was posted. Once the thread had gone off on a tangent it was much more interesting and I contributed many comments.

was a cop-out and managed to be even less satisfying than I imagined it would be.

Congratulations, you have officially conceded that the general sentiment of the original post is dead on, even if the content is a bit oversimplified.

You know that is not true, and I have conceded nothing. You are only saying that in an attempt to get me to argue with you. I will debate you when you post an interesting diary.

We *both* know you have essentially conceded.  Debate Over, and the general point of the original post stands and shines for all to see.

There was some good dialog on that last post. Makes me miss the old days on TYT forum where real, substantive debates occured.

Do yourself a favor and at least skim that old thread. Keep an eye out for someone who now goes by Chinese Democracy.

That thread was unusual even for the old days. Sure, we got it off topic and covered a lot of ground, like many threads, but that thread has comments from October of 2006 to the end of 2007.

And I never did get around to downloading that pdf file you linked to. But we discussed a book I still haven't read.
