"Do not belong" is a value statement. "Cannot exist" is a factual
statement.

You're issuing value statements and opinions. That and a dollar,
and you can probably get a pretty good cup of coffee.

I notice you won't commit to "cannot." Until you do, and show
some kind of proof, all you have is your opinion. In this case,
I believe you're wrong. I think, at this point, we're just banging
our heads. Fortunately for me, at least, your opinion hasn't
become a fact. I don't think it will.
