    I didn't see any obvious indication that the statement I was responding to was being used to argue against it, and I didn't sift too deep through the discussion for context. I know it's a bad idea nowadays, but I'm still in the unfortunate habit of agreeing with standalone statements I perceive as true without investigating to be certain that they're not being conflated with a false statement somewhere else.

    (None of which I know or would assume to be the case here.)
    My apologies, I didn't mean to suggest you'd disagree, but I can see now how it might come across as such. I was just using your post as a springboard to assert my own position on the alignment system, which I do not believe to be perfect - I'd been looking for an opening to do so, and when you gave me one, I jumped at the opportunity.

    But given that I was also defending it's appropriateness, I felt I needed to also establish that just because I didn't think it perfect, that didn't mean I felt my previous post on the topic was therefore weakened. None of which, of course, had much to do with what you were saying, so, again, sorry for making it look like I might be suggesting you were saying any such thing.

    Where reality is an intruder
    And myth and legend thrive
