I'm not sure if I agree totally, but I can see his point.

On this particular subject I am perhaps more strident than usual because people say things like you have in the above. I mean, what does it take for total agreement? My desire to have faith in the basic intelligence of pokerkind is severely tested when some people are so resistant to a straightforward and laboriously elaborated mathematical illustration.
Obviously I'm generally fairly confident in opinions expressed: this isn't news. Is that a bug or a feature? How well are you served if you disagree out of spite?

I respect his point, in part because he phrased it like a discussion, not an argument with a prize for the winner.

If this is the sort of basis on which you make decisions then you are likely to continue to struggle. This subject only seems like a discussion with an uncertain outcome to you because you don't understand it. I could pretend that it's a give and take of ideas where we're each on a path of intellectual discovery, but pretending is not my strong suit. In reality it's just me and others beating our heads against the wall for no apparent reason.

Refer to the best lesson my mother ever gave me "If you can't say anything nice..."

If my writings on this subject fall under your "not nice" category then I doubt whether most people would prefer me to follow your advice.
