You put the ball into play, I gave it a little tap.

And as I said, Harnden's strategy involves putting about fourteen different points into play, almost all of them arguable and/or spurious. Pick one and we can go at it like gentlemen; I refuse to respond to scattershot, incoherent arguments, beyond pointing out that they are, in fact, scattershot and incoherent.
