It looks like I got you all twisted up in knots again!
You remind me of most researchers who specialize in "only" one field and think they know it all, but because of their "NARROW" Focus they miss the Bigger picture!
It is kinda like the old story about the person who is standing in front of a very Big tree which is blocking his view of the forest behind the tree, yet he argues very much with those standing back enough to see the forest behind the tree which is blocking his view, as they are telling him there is a big forest in front of him, but he continues to argue that there is "NO" forest in front of him!
