It isn't a conclusion, it's a pun. Laugh, it's funny.

As to the downvotes, I think people downvote because you read a whole lot of randomness into everything, and it's just confusing to answer you because what you say is so crammed with non-sequitur, that it's hard to reply other than "huh, WTF?". So people just say "too much bother" and downvote. At least, that's my guess.

"what you say is so crammed with non-sequitur,"

Hardly anything I say is non sequitur. I'd that nothing is, except there are probably occasional lapses.

I'll just have to work harder at being obviously obvious instead of obscurely obvious. :c(

Edit: One thought: I bet the people who complain of my being obscure respond similarly to the writings of Rebecca Borgstrom. I can't claim that I always interpret what she wrote correctly, but I usually perceive it clearly. Possibly I would qualify as a Borgstromancy practitioner.
