Do you really want to play the if-you-only-really-understood-it-you'd-agree-with-it card? Because it is possible to really understand something and reject it.

Like I said, I think we come down in the same spot on this one; it's just the lawyer in me want's precision in arguments and accurate understanding of other's positions.
