So Bernie, now you're the spelling police as well as the authority on
exactly what Gen. 2 meant to the original audience and how we should
understand it? :-)
If you're interested buy the handout, read it carefully, and then (a) you'll
see that your first impressions are probably mistaken; and (b) we could talk
about it points of agreement and disagreement intelligently.
