Not to ruin your “Gotcha!” moment, but I was aware of what I was doing. What I guess I needed to spell out was that I was just taking the opportunity to try to clarify my own thinking—I was explaining why I have reached my conclusions that hold for me, NOT advocating that interpretation over another for anyone else. Whether lawyers or otherwise in the real world, in this courtroom we each have the privilege of serving as judge of the matter and rendering a verdict that is authoritative and binding for pursed and only ourself. I know I lose sight of that at times. This was not one of them.
