Yes, I saw that. But I worded my statement very carefully. I carefully
used the wording "test to prove proper operation", not "normal test
procedures". Looking back on it, I should not have used the word
"maintain" in the exact context, since combining it with the word
"change" has caused you to infer that I consider that current test
procedure is one which verifies proper operation. I did not mean
to imply that.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
