Ah.  I didn't realize that I just didn't understand the situation as
well as you.  Thanks for setting me straight.

If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?
Four.  Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one.
   Abraham Lincoln

As I said, I mostly agree with you in your analysis.  The main thing I
differ on is your definition.  The market is not free and just calling
it free doesn't change that.
