"Hey, it's okay to fail this way or that way, as long as I don't say the opposite in public." Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think those were the two points that you raised at the beginning of the essay, and you can please articulate better than I have about what you meant by that.

So it was too much there to object to and to correct you, so I hope I can be forgiven for that hypocrisy or phoniness if I'm at all implying that anything that you said until now in the introduction was true, or that my vast contradiction to that through actual reality should not be perceived as at least not unusual or unforgivable hypocrisy.But other than that, so in terms of that formulation, so there was a lot that was correct.
