That’s a great question, and I’m glad you asked it. But the truth is, I’m not prepared to answer it right now. You see, the issues seem simple, but they’re actually quite complex. As such, I’ve struck a special committee to look into the complexities surrounding the answer, or answers; and with the committee’s findings, I hope to publish a position paper on the topic just as soon as I can. Sorry if I cannot answer your question right now, but I think my paper will answer your question when it is published. ---

Yeah, I’ll need a Three Musketeers, and a ball point pen, one of those combs there, a pint of Old Harper, a couple of flashlight batteries and some beef jerky. ---
