Patrick,
I agree with what you are saying perhaps more than I have ever agreed with anything I have ever heard you say before.
Like I said, "I get it." All I am saying is, that, in my opinion, the situation you describe above, and any differences one might find between an ERA and an SPF, is more accurately described as "definite" or even "obvious" differences. I maintain that "night and day" BY DEFINITION are polar opposites, and hence do not accurately reflect the differences between SPF and ERA. Especially to someone who is asking about the differences between the two because he is considering buying one or the other. Really, I am not even interested in asserting that I am right in this discussion. Only that I disagree with your choice of words.
