Part of my problem with comments is that they are rarely thoughtful or in depth, even at a site like this. They are what I'm writing now: a short snippet that's more like a back and forth conversation than a thoughtful analysis.
Alot of intelligence comes from bringint together simple--but relevant--pieces of information...or distlling simple--but essential--lines of logic from inpenetrable source material.
