Thank you for you comment, nun_sense. And indeed, I also find neatly tied-in-a-bow answers are seldom satisfying (and, I suspect, seldom accurate :P). Thanks for persevering through this lengthy entry.

Oh, well said, Banks!
You are quite right, I think. I have typed out this comment so many times but all I end up doing is saying right back to you everything you just said.
So right about that unlikeliness.

In fact, that last bit there is hugely the underlying point, I think...

Thanks for reading my long post, Banks. And for commenting. :D
