What I did do was to quote verbatim YOUR OWN WORDS, (and I'll quote them

feel free to explain them and why they don't mean what they appear to

Oh, I definitely mean you, Stewart. You're a liar. You use two
deliberate methods calculated to deceive and lie:

1. Unless someone writes out all the qualifications, extensions and
possibilities, you take the most negative and obstructive view of his
words. That is not what decent people do in civilized conversation.
Once may be an oversight but you do it repeatedly. That is deliberate
dishonesty.

If you think I've misunderstood something you posted, then it would be more
helpful to explain it than to accuse me of being a "liar" or taking a
"negative and obstructive view". I simply take views based on what I read.

In particular, if I've grasped the wrong indended meaning of your words,
please correct my misunderstanding and tell me what you really mean to imply
with the words "a different class of person, one of culture rather than a
technician" (your words, verbatim), and what exactly is a "jumped-up techie"
(your words, verbatim, again)?
