Yes. I find it odd that this argument is derailed into demanding a discussion on the finer points of the semantics for "conquer."

A confession: Often when reading LW, I will notice some claim that seems wrong, and will respond, without reading the thread context carefully or checking back far enough to understand exactly why a given point came up. This results in an inadvertent tendency to nit-pick, for which I apologize.
