I don't disagree with any of this. It's why I'm of the belief that in the end, only I can define what a recovery means for me. I'm not even normally abnormal in such a way that the recoveries the industry is selling ever work for me. But maybe it's because my philosophical center of gravity is, like yours, not middle-of-the-consumer-road.
