We're in basic agreement.

When I accused you of using condescending rhetoric it was over your application of the word confused in what seemed to me to be a very demeaning context. In this part of the country folks almost always use the word "confused" as a euphemism for folks with onset Alzheimer's; otherwise, it's used in a pejorative manner, as in a rude insinuation about personal competence.

When folks in this area want to politely indicate that they think someone is relying on incorrect, incomplete or flawed information usually those claiming to be better informed will just suggest that the person conveying questionable data may be mistaken.

...But no harm; no foul.

Let's not turn this dubious mole-hill into a mountain of disagreement. As you apparently had no intention of making a condescending remark, I apologize for taking it as such. Is that better?
