I was thrown by its placing under my original comments.....assumed his
question was an answer....which made sense as a simple point that
unpacked into an answer. Deutsch is the boss, so it seemed reasonable
for him to answer in that way, presumably because the challenge of
'unpacking' promised some extra insight. But I could unpack it!
Because it wasn't an answer an answer to unpack but a question to
answer!
The intents and motives look alright all round to me.
