Well, I expected to be downvoted. This is one of the most heavily Progressivist boards on the entire Internet, so it goes without saying that this view is unpopular. And downvoting is much easier (and faster, and consequence-free) than arguing the facts, especially when they're not on your side. If I weren't willing to accept this, I wouldn't post here. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
