No.

Yes.
Thanks. I understand that. When I was younger, my friends were annoyed when I accepted arguments on both sides and then narrowed them down to some place in the middle. Where I decided which made more sense. And then chose a position seemingly most likely.
I don't have to work very hard at it most days now. I pretty much know what my reasoned thoughts are by this point.
Never argue with people who type fast and have too much time on their hands...
