I do find it odd that given the relative popularity of this thread and
the considerable number of knowledgeable people who post regularly on
this forum, that I am only being taken to task by two people since it is
suggested that I am talking out of my hat.

Hi Stephen!
Accepting that "alternative facts" appear to be much in vogue these
