Can I please know how the UDLs are implicated in your line of thought? Even 
if a mischaracterization was involved in the original question (admittedly, 
I heard this second hand), why can't I understand the actual argument and 
whats at stake in such an argument?  If you feel this was an attack, I 
apologize, and I apologize for whatever mischaracterization was at work.  I 
don't think my question is one that could be generically grouped with those 
of your other interlocuters.
