It is a legitimate thing to say from one with that specific wrong thought, so...whence "Lrf, V qvq erpragyl qvfnterr jvgu lbh ba n qvssrerag guernq"?

I could not understand why you had been continuing to target which of 3 and 4 I was responding to when I was actually targeting "P: ". It especially didn't make sense to me since "Problem: " seemed to be relevant to both 3 and 4 with 4 (just) being a somewhat exaggerated version of 3 that really emphasized the 'paradox'. It did not occur to me that you could just be wrong about 3. Take that as flattery of your intellect!

I also didn't pick up that you were trying to say that I was wrong in a nice way. Because the possibility that I was wrong about something so obvious just wasn't primed as a likely intent. ;)

It turns out I was wrong, so...?

That is sad for past you but doubly good for present you because you updated when ortho explained!
