I gave you the simple feedback. You asked a "yes or no" question waaaaaaay back, which is what got us started on this tangent. The simple answer, repeatedly offered by me and others, was "neither." Most of the past page has been me unsuccessfully attempting to explain why it's "neither." The part you're quoting here was an unsuccessful attempt on my part to get you to understand why, but since you didn't answer it that approach was equally futile as my other attempts. Even in this new hypothetical you're asking, the correct answer isn't "yes" or "no," it's "need more data."

On the theory that there are no bad students, only bad teachers, I'll go ahead and accept the blame for this one. But you'll have to forgive me if I'm going to drop the subject entirely now.
