Um, no. I'm pointing out that you started this thread, just as you started the one about enlightenment criteria, to give yourself a platform to put folks down (primarily TMers, of course). This one's even more transparent, especially since you jumped the gun and explained what the TMO-centered responses would be like, as if this somehow wouldn't have been dead obvious to everyone from the start. It's a completely fake question, in other words.
