Ok, this thread is getting so idiotic now that I'm not going to bother to 
read anything at this tangential depth. Good think I use a newsreader so 
that I can easily skip back out to the higher-level posts and drop the 
drivel.

(Aside: "What drivel?" you ask? You did the "the bottom line is..." 
thing. Of course everything is so simple. As simple as throwing up a web 
forum for D. Simple. Now what to do with all the time left over. Such a 
dilemma.)

That is naive. There is always 101 "unseen" reasons for a stance. What's 
right or wrong takes a backseat to personal consequences, political and 
financial and power motives... Major power struggles are not about what a 
casual observer can ascertain with a quick look from a distance. The 
players know very well what the situation is at some level of depth 
beyond what appears on the surface. The goal is to dig down deeper and 
try to find things to give more advantage to better "guarantee" a good 
outcome for a player.

Most people will never grow up, I have said. They just keep on "signing 
their lives and rights away" on "employment" agreements, web forum 
TOSs... and on and on.

If only the world and real life was as simple as your cliche-ridden 
"argument for theory". As simple as putting up a web forum for D, surely.
