You asked why I reached the conclusion that "doing much means being always right, never wrong". I gave you an explanation (about how I didn't exactly say that, though I did mean something similar).

You've asked me questions, so I figure you're interested in answers. If you are, then don't try to chicken out when I'm wasting my time trying to explain stuff in detail, so that you would *understand* why all this is just a bunch of fuss over nothing. If, OTOH, you're not interested, then *STOP WASTING MY TIME*.
