Yes, your cynicism is palpable.  I agree.

I thought I just did "honestly admit" that I was speaking in general terms.  

I really don't see any "lies" or "back peddling" or "rationalizations" or "caveats".  
Why don't you pull out your thesaurus and see if you can paint an even darker
picture here?  

What is the MAIN POINT, THE ESSENCE of what I'm saying?

People like Luke, Matt, Greg, and Pieter are major players in core and also are/were involved
with Blockstream.  If you take away Jeff and Gavin, sure there are others who contribute
but they aren't very influential.  

I admit, saying "everyone" was an innacuracy, and I'm more than happy to
admit that, but I haven't misled anyone (at least intentionally).   Most people
know there are many contributors to the open source project.

That's was my point the whole time and I think you know this was my point,
and I think you know my point is valid.

I believe you are splitting hairs in an attempt to discredit me but
its not working.  Go attack someone else.
