Not at all, the argument you made was spurious under either interpretation.

It would seem to me to be at best completely and utterly irrelevant.
The ability to move an email message without any form of authentication
whatsover does not seem to argue for the possibility of moving a
payment with that email.

The fact that the volume is 5 billion a day does argue that any 
settlement system is going to have to be substantial.

Actually your claim was:

I don't know how you expected this statement to be interpreted.
I will merely observe that if the French had not rescued you 
from certain defeat at Yorktown you would now be speaking English.
