Close enough (I didn't have any therefore in mind, just disagreement with what I thought you claimed), though I wouldn't call the confusion linguistics or philosophy.

It does seem like I attempted to understand you too literally. I'm not entirely sure exactly what you meant (if you'd offered a reason for your belief, it might have been clearer what that belief was).

Thanks for helping us succeed in not arguing over nothing - probably a bigger coup than whatever it was we were intending to contribute.
