Hmm. Well, it seems to me that we should follow the sequence.
"They skipped a bunch." You presented that as a fact. What is the evidence of that, other than Mr Potter?
"No one claimed that the armrest numbers are assigned sequentially." What sense does it make
not to assign them in order?
Go ahead and believe whatever you want...
In the meantime, the numbers provided by Acura (the people who work for the company that made and sold the cars) are consistent with numbers mentioned in the press, and with all observable empirical evidence (such as numbers in the registry when you account for the gaps in armrest numbers, and distribution of colors at ITR Expos, just to name a couple of sources).
:thinking:
When I take that paragraph apart, it doesn't seem to mean anything.
Where does the press mention any number for any years? What's the
press, anyway?
"All observable empirical evidence..." doesn't mean much at all in this case, although it certainly is a grand phrase to use, isn't it?
Sounds just wonderful.
Hmm. "When you account for the gaps in armrest numbers..." But you can't and haven't, and we can't, either.
Why does the sword come out whenever you discuss this? Why is it such a horribly important issue for you.
I think I've tried to give you credit, and I think I have tried in the previous post to give you and Mr Potter some credit and position, but it seems to me you're responding with an attack and with a bit of "sound and fury signifying nothing."
