On one hand I would like to understand his thinking.  On the other
hand I also need to spend time thinking for myself and this is being a
time sink.  I think I may have pressed too hard and he is seeing me as
an antagonist.  So maybe it is time to stop pressing.

I don't think you pressed to hard. The rotation about the word care
and circles of infinite decent, would have just been of topic.
Scalability to interleave CPU with memory was a major, major goal of
the design. The fact it can be a small thing, with only one core
needed to do much embedded work is an offshoot, not a raison d'etre.

Test in truth, it would have been easy to crunch the thread earlier
had ant's been in strong pain, but this was not necessary.

Did you like the BAr stack underflow joke?
