### Well, just what is the difference? Eh? I mean, if the
argument hurts, isn't it an insult? Is it an insult that argues?
Perhaps, just by it's being posed, it is an argument that
insults. Ever think about that? Have you? Perhaps (and what is
more), you have yourself argued insults *into* an argument,
insulting _per_se_, _arguendo_, those with which you've argued!
Indeed. I have given this much good thought. And a touch
not-so-good thought. One sweeping question remains:

Just what is the average air speed of a sparrow?
