Adam is much harder to confuse than you think, or than he professes.

Speaking of burning it all down and starting over.  If you want a
house-related analogy, that's not quite correct.  It's refusing to
build an extension because the old house, while legally fit for

foundations, it's not that big a job (though I'll grant you that it's
bigger than many people realize, even with that smaller scope).
