Seriously, Dave's point is well taken. It is one thing to listen when there are several possible answers, and accept the "official"; I know I always try to explain how, why, and precedents that apply. But if you just can't understand why "we" say there is just one right answer, we should be able to give you more.

Personally, I only stop answering when it has been explained ad infinitum, and someone just wants it to be another answer, no matter what the reasoning.
The converse of that are the coaches that come out of the dugout with:

Hey, blue...are you sure about that call? You know Emily (Alexander) said...blah blah blah.....

Most of the time, what comes out of their mouth is not even close to anything that Emily would say....Steve, do you have this issue as well?
