Sure. I wasn't blaming him purely for thinking that what I wrote at
the beginning was no longer true. That's obviously something
reasonable for him to conclude. But he was faulting me for commenting
without, supposedly, watching the whole damn set of videos, which
would take much longer than to read over my post, yet he commented on
my post without reading it all the way through.
Don't you agree that's ironic?

is leaning towards.
Yes. I think Steorn is brilliant. (I have trouble using the plural
for them, except like in this sentence. Steorn are brilliant? Sorry,
that grates. it is a company, a single entity, but I can also speak
of those involved as "them.")
Brilliant as entertainers and sophisticated marketers. Never mind the
product they are marketing, it's an excuse for making money, which is
what marketers are supposed to do.
