I read this entire post very thoroughly up to about page #7.
Something more interesting may have happened in the last 3 of 4 pages, but it doesn't look like it at first glance.
Here's my summary, for what it's worth:
- Dave is correct in every detail.
- Everyone else except Frank understands pretty much what Dave is saying.
Frank's not exactly wrong, he's just been confused by what may have been a too literal, and perhaps a too rigid, understanding of the education he was offered 50 years ago.
To be fair, I got my education not long after he got his, and rigid and literal was pretty much how it was served up to me too.
