We can see that the *only* person trying to rewrite what you wrote to 
try and make it mean something else is you.  We can also see that you're 
now desperately tap-dancing and doing the usual Usenet silly dances when 
one is blatantly wrong.  You "never suggest[ed] that [I] knew any part 
of the reason" but you "tried to keep [me] honest" by disputing my 
therefore calling it an unknown reason?  I think that the sheer 
foolishness of your notions here speak for themselves to the world.  I 
certainly regard them as ludicrous.  "You don't know the reason but you 
cannot use the word unknown to say that.", indeed!  What utter 
bilgewater you are propounding in the name of trying to save face.
