Okay, Mr. Hesse, I have no wish to engage in any type of distasteful ongoing 'battle' with you where we spend our time and energy 'tearing' each other apart. This is just not constructive and a poor example of what an educator should be, whether in a classroom or otherwise.

Therefore, (wrong or right), we have BOTH 'said our piece'. Now, maybe we can move on.

In any case, thanks for your insight. I will 'check myself'. Have a good day!
