I think it's the second and in that case I agree. If it's the first, I'd like to talk it out a little more.

My posts were quite simple. All you have to do is read my statement and not add anything else to it.
Maybe if I put it this way. Without adding anything or a "what if", just what does a BR cutting sharply after touching the base have to do with being hindered or impeded in attaining that base?
