And for the most part that would be true. But it has been clear at times that this is not always a good assumption.
We have not had the kind of rote repetition of Lee the way Albert and others did in the past, or the crazy near-to-actual trolling that Bilbo was fond of. But there are times that even the sane seem to get a little insane.

Oh, there is no way to eliminate having the discussion go there — at least at first. But, as I keep pointing out in a different way, the problem is that they are assuming that it is a relevant issue and are skipping past the evidence that it really isn't part of the discussion. Once they back up and raise up their Lee-colored glasses a little, they can begin to see that the Trinity really isn't part of the discussion. Of course, a knee-jerk reaction for some would be to assert that if it is about any of the Three, it is about the Trinity. But that is like saying that the mention of a road-trip vacation means that the discussion is about cubic inches (or centimeters now), torque, gear ratios, compression ratios, diesel v gas, automatic v standard, 2-door v 4-door v SUVs v trucks etc., etc., etc.
