Lee, you should not take intermittent participation on my part as “withdrawal”. You have never - EVER - provided an adequate defense of Axe as it relates to my two main points. Once you come up with something that is more than referring to essays that we already know are either irrelevant or ineffective, I will comment. You haven’t to date. You should stop trying to bluff your way through this. It’s perfectly OK to state that Axe has not addressed my main points (of course - the truth is always preferable). It’s also perfectly OK to start at this point and ask questions about the aspects of this discussion you clearly do not understand.
