If you are at all interested, thank you to try to express the formal structure of the following argument as you understand it:
Everything is admissible as long as it's what you think is the best expression of the structure of the argument and that you are prepared to argue your view.
Still, I will myself keep away from this thread to let you all try to arrive at a consensus independently of my own view, hopefully through a rational debate.
Thanks in advance for your contribution.
