To elaborate. I agree that going down the list of built-ins as a teaching
technique is unnecessary.  My point is much different than that.  As always,
I am more than willing to have my point rejected - but prefer it happen
*after* it is understood.

I go on when I feel that it is only a trivialized version of my point that
is being put on the dung heap.

Deja-vu, again.
