Man, you just don't get it, do you, Rubywand?  That's not their opinion,
it's the commonly-held interpretation of the law.  My uncle the Missouri
Appellate judge, my cousin-in-law the lawyer, and a whole bunch of other
California lawyers I know all say the same thing.

You are wrong, man.  Admit it, and move on.
