I meant no offense, Gandar, and the "silly" was not aimed at you. The argument has been around for a long time, and when I was in law school I heard about it, thought it was ultra-cool, and checked it out. I was aiming the "silly" at the argument itself, and countless attorneys and organizations that promote the argument.
Truly sorry for any offense. Now, that you mention it, I don't feel good at all.
