Hmmm. I was afraid I had understood your question. I hope you don't mind, but I have taken the liberty of pasting your thoughts on this thread and your answer to JohnX2 on the next thread together. I left John X2's comment in solely for the sake of providing context for your answer.
From this thread:

Again, it may just be me, and I will undoubtedly see the truth of the matter later and regret posting this, but.... Isn't there a certain lack of congruence between your thoughts on the one thread and your thoughts on the other? Since your post on this thread seems to imply that less objective feelings should be given less weight, while on the other thread.... Oh well, if this makes any sense, fine. If not, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
