Thank you, Tuna! And I hope it is indeed clear that I am deliberately misinterpreting it.

I found your interpretation of the situation unreasonably harsh, and wished to juxtapose it with an example that was clearly ludicrously harsh but, I thought, had broadly similar reasoning at its roots.

Suggesting that a "lost purchase" can have criminal or moral implications seems as senseless to me as I hope my over the top example seemed to you.

Of course, doubtless we disagree... but it seemed like being wacky was a better option than being confrontational.
