So your case is that you see something different between:
- “As for being “prepared” for such a thing, I am not sure exactly how one is to do that” and
- “there is no way to be prepared”

and it’s such a big difference that you are making a big deal about it.

and therefore I look foolish.

You’re something else bobbcat. You kind of remind me of my wife, who enjoys arguing about whether the sun will rise in the morning if there is a cloud cover. And then gets mad at me if I’m bemused about it.
