If you want to make the argument listed above, feel free. But don't pretend that it's my argument.
OK. I took it as the presentation of an argument, you made it as an observation. From the context it could be taken either way. If you don't claim the argument then I'm happy not to assign it to you.

Which means, I guess, that I still don't have an explanation as to why the Mouse is worth more protection than Lipitor or heart valve replacements.
