I haven't motte and bailey'd anything. I made one statement that at some point these organizations offered efficient services, and cannot verify if that is still the case. I was very clear about this. I haven't moved any goalposts. Yes, this is a largely vague statement because I am not researched enough to say "in X time the USPS, in Y time the VA, in Q time the IRS...".

I think you're actually trying to hold me to a more precise standard than I ever set out to say. It's like strawmanning my argument. I don't know where my being called combative is coming from; I'm merely pointing out that I never said the things that are being argued against.
