My singular point was that your argument made a false connection.  If
you'd like to reverse my own argument on me that's fine with me, but
I was hoping you'd say something interesting.  Moreover, at least my
example had a clear cause and effect reason to it -- where yours
argued that freebsd would be affected in "exactly the opposite" way of
that which is intuitive.  Yes, it's possible for non-intuitive things
to happen, but when they haven't already happened and someone yells,
"Stop the train!", I think you should expect some reasonable scrutiny.

I simply expect your argument to contain facts rather than simply
discrediting those who oppose it.
