Thanks. As Lumifer has pointed out, I have become more defensive in the past 36 hours, but I claim it’s almost entirely limited to the two individuals who have shown themselves to be deontologically hostile and extremely overconfident in their models. There’s obviously wiggle room in there to say “Eh, even given that, Duncan, I think you’re overreacting,” but if so, it’s because I feel that after a hundred comments and a multithousand word post (that I didn’t have to make at all, in the first place) I deserve some credit à la I’ve clearly demonstrated willingness to engage positively with criticism and update publicly and admit wrong and so on and so forth (and therefore don’t like comments that presuppose me not being all those things).
