Not in the least

On the evidence, you are smart enough to know that the question you posed was utterly disingenuous. So why did you do it? For the sheer sake of shit-disturbing? That might be fun now and again, but you do it so frequently that over time it becomes difficult to believe that you don't degrade the signal-to-noise ratio out of sheer hatred for intelligent discourse.

When Gurdjieff, his cohort Ouspensky + students of their experiments in (say) increasing levels of consciousness, settled for a time in a manse in the outskirts of Paris: there was amongst the lot one person who seemed to irritate everyone. Whenever faced by one of the others over some action, accused of doing X, his response was, invariably: "but then I never do X!" IIRC one specific was an accusation that he interminably argued (and, he argued: the same.) One scribe reported in later years that: Gurdjieff, consistent with his ideas on how to train people to become hyper-observant of their own foibles/mechanicalness (when no One was 'paying attention--from inside') had revealed to her that he had hired this man. (Perfectly reasonable, given the aims of the group and the unique lore of its teacher.) But then, am unaware that we had elected a teacher or that full-consciousness was expected--or particularly to be striven for, officially. Neither had I heard that intentionally-reduced consciousness would be welcomed as.. some virtue. (But I could very well have missed that thread--while not paying Attention.)

Oh, nother, when I was visiting the AFB in Clovis NM over the holidays, the folks told me that their golf course, completely on base was closed for the duration. Apparently the commander in chief didn't have a hankering to play on that course. So yes, it was for show. In case you have never visited the DC area Rand, barricading the Lincoln memorial would be like taking the expense to barricade Golden Gate Park and refusing to let people step on the grass. Completely political.
