And it bothers me to hear folks who seem to think it's acceptable wave it about like some sort of badge of honor.

Oh, totally agree there!
All I meant was, sometimes the intent vs what they actually end up saying gets crossed. I've heard Rush Holt get up at a regional and say "I could never do this", but he (obviously) could with his background.
