That is an intriguing metaphor for a conclusion, and I will have to think about it. I do like it, though.
That does make sense, and likely is accurate. I can think of half a dozen ways to challenge the argument I made in the paper, and I want to address all of them; since I can, I assume my readers can (and will), too, and they won't be convinced if I don't at least give a token rebuttal to the most plausible few. But then, there's probably an infinite number of counter-arguments for every proposal imaginable, so I can never really win this kind of battle.
