In this great scheme of things you get a B- just for hard work. Where you misplaced me was on the particulars. You know, they say, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be more correct at this point. Having said that, let me inform you precisely what did deliver the results. The article (parts of it) can be highly persuasive and this is probably why I am making the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, although I can certainly notice a jumps in reasoning you make, I am not really convinced of just how you seem to connect the ideas which produce your conclusion. For the moment I will yield to your point however hope in the foreseeable future you link the facts much better.
not sure precisely which conclusions you are referring to, since I am reporting what a lawsuit says, and not drawing my own conclusions, but always happy to hear feedback.
