You originally wrote:

I went on to describe not a mistake which I attributed to you but one that is made frequently when anyone decides to have yet another brand war:
So to sum:
1. I explained that, in my initial post, I didn't "see things" as "strictly dichotomies," but instead pointed out that brand wars themselves are predicated on the idea that consumer choices are Boolean.
2. My response to you suggested that you yourself "seemed to" have mistaken my description of a condition for brand wars (a commitment either to one brand or to others -- i.e., a boolean choice) for my actual mindset (in your words, the way I actually "see things").
3. This was followed by a description of the above predicament (mentioned in my previous post) which was certainly not intended as a rewording of your ideas stated or otherwise.
I certainly didn't intend to cast any aspersions on you or suggest that you entertained delusional beliefs.
Did you have any other concerns?

Simply,
1. Maybe I shouldn't have used that word "dichotomies." Perhaps it exacerbated your reaction.
2. My younger son is quite the "polemicist" and I find that dealing with one of those is all I stand.
