See, this wasn't really a FAQ, but a AASOPQ - artfully arranged set of pseudo-questions - like Galileo's "dialogue".

Well, it was amusing, but somebody (presumably that other guy, "Brandioch") seems to have established the bizarre notion that I had posted a bunch of questions as a forum-wide survey. Obviously, my conceit, rather, was that some hypothetical person had somehow conned me into having an interview-style dialogue on the subject, whereby the follow-up questions were prompted by the contents of my antecedent answers.

If you substitute radically different answers, then most of the questions no longer make the least bit of sense.

But if you just need a backdrop to rant against, without actually addressing the subject, I suppose they'll do as well as anything else.
