Is it true that [stuff] or is it true that "I do not really understand your questions."? Because it seems to me like only one of those can be true.

Your explanation couldn't possibly have cleared it up?

Well... I highly doubt it, both because the original 'confusion' seemed blindingly obvious to me and because

I am trying to be clear about the fact that the ONLY part of this thread I care about was the use of the word 'innocuous'. All these other questions are good questions that people are asking, and answering, for themselves, and for other people, every day. Which I have no quarrel with.

I do not want to answer these questions for other people. ...

... that I actually do not want to answer, because noone has acknowledged that my point about the word innocuous is valid or valuable criticism.

indicates to me something other than "Oh, so that's what that was about!" In fact, it seems more along the lines of "Your clarification was not needed because I was missing the point intentionally."

But in the interests of being as charitable as possible, I have edited my reply.
