The logical consequences of your position are the logical
consequences of your position; tautologically trivial, yet
nevertheless true. I realize that it may be personally painful and
embarassing for you to be publicly confronted with consequences
which you never devoted yourself to reasoning out privately, but
perhaps such a smack with the cane of logic can lead you to your
own enlightenment, grasshopper - or perhaps in your case, such
an understanding is conceptually impossible.
