I see. Well, I agree that the argument is tenuous, if that is the argument. The thing is, due to the nature of unfounded assertions we're left to wonder for ourselves how the person (in this case, Dieter) actually got to their conclusion. And the main reason I raised the issue is because it's helpful to know what someone is actually saying before attempting to respond to them. That's how it seems to me, at least. Sorry if this is clearer than I'm making it out to be and I'm just being difficult, Dieter.
