Thanks. While I appreciate your effort I suspect it would have gone better if you had prepared better. What's with the rush?

It still stimulated active discussion. Consider that a victory.

Postponing likely would have meant: Never. At least: At a later time to the same conditions (punctuated constant postponing). That's because due to the ongoing discussion (and later research) I had sufficiently many facts swapped in. But for finishing a sufficiently high quality post I just don't have the time.

I do. I'm used to posting with 85% positive rate. I wonder whether being controversial fades with time.
