But that same amount of time contrasts sharply with the sparsity of time 
you've contributed to examining the TEXT, thus devaluing your opinion of the 
text's "tight construction."

Instead of making sweeping unspecific judgements against jbor's 
"revisionist" interpretations, why don't you offer some specific 
interpretations of the text yourself?  And I don't think sending a link to a 
news report or political commentator qualifies as such.
