No, I mean that meaning is relative and arbitrary. But you honor me with such praise of my illusionist discursive capabilities; you're certainly no slouch at such sleights.
I don't take "theatrics" as a pejorative, given my history of study and current line of work. But I'm interested in why my off-hand invocation of industrializing capitalism (versus 20th-century industrialized capitalism) somehow invalidates the case I "might" have had about the 20th century.
(As for taking bait: you're right there, but only in the sense that I think this logic of numerical "tallying" is a fool's errand, whether you're studying capitalism, communism, or Verdukianism, because you end up in an ouroborous of responsibility and contingency, eating up time and effort and ending up nowhere useful.)
