| Re-read what you have said and spot the

The whole 'point' of NDT is that it ain't
when NDT is Comprehended.

Sometimes, there's 'just' Truth, and it's
a Waste to "beat around the bush".

Kindly understand that I'm advocating on
behalf of NDT - because there's a pressing
Need for such.

My 'point' is that, since I'm discussing
exclusively from NDT's perspective, it's
good to, first, Comprehend NDT.

Either you don't, or you're 'pretending'
you don't to see what arises out of such.

In the future, I'll gladly deal with such, but,
just now, I'm pressed for 'time', so let's go
upon our clearly-separate ways.
