Thank you for the compliment, but I have already said I am an
engineer.  Perhaps I should become a professor of engineering
to pass more of my industrial experience on to a new generation.
Sounds like a good retirement activity.

The ability to argue a position should not be confused for a
personal preference for that position.  Often, arbitrary positions
have to be assumed to fully explore the matter.  I do not have
any confidence in any personal positions I might take until I can
argue both sides with approximately equal vigor.

Oh dear.  You were making some plausible if disjointed arguments, then you
