Uh, gee; thanks Mr. Amy. However, I *am* one of those "conservative critics", or at least you would likely classify me as one. I chose my answers by first scanning your opening page, understanding your own bias and then picking the answers that I figured you would assume your "opponent" to view as most unlikely.
It brought back fond memories of several of my college professors, particularly the wild-haired ones in Sociology, when you used discrete points in a continuum to "prove" a trend. Also, the wisdom with which highly-disparete services were jumbled together to create amorphous blobs that would always tend towards a mediocre mean, then using the mediocre mean to indicate parity. Delicious!
Oh, and I loved some of your characterizations! Such as when a Master should deign to *not* take something away from his Servant gets reworked into a "subsidy" for that Servant?
Thanks for the Friday laugh, Mr. Amy.
