Just for starters: The problem isn’t what you quoted, but your misunderstanding of it. When I said “the force of the objection,” I wasn’t referring to the passion with which someone makes that objection; I was referring to the consideration that their objection deserves on the merits. As should have been obvious from context. I don’t have time to deal with your other misunderstandings at the moment, but I’ll get to them later.
