I certainly wasn't generating a dichotomy. I was merely offering two suggestions. I never said that I was certain that it was one of those two.

Apologies for the misunderstanding.

Often, when someone says, "Is it because A? or is the issue B?" they intend to be suggesting that the explanation is either A or B.

I realize this is not always the case, but I (apparently incorrectly) assumed that you were suggesting those as the possible explanations.
