"Sure, why not go years back in my past, since I literally haven't posted on SI for years. "
Well, gee, I am sorry. I didn't know that you want to pretend those posts never happened. I know you left SI some years back. But I was posting there before then and remember your posts. And calling your hand when you started to wing it. But, if you want, I will pretend that never happened...
"I am referring to comments such as these, which certainly do imply "almost validated"."
Umm, right. Another wbmw attempt to put words in someone's mouth by mis-stating their position. Neither of those statements imply "almost validated". If you are in validation, as you claim, you know that. As Alan pointed out, there are some famous test escapes that wouldn't pass validation today.
"I don't think I have been in the least bit unreasonable with you."
Well, telling someone they must be joking or are ignorant isn't exactly taking them seriously.
