I didn't think I did that...
(I certainly could be wrong) I understand your point and explanation, but can it work another way? Maybe not exactly the opposite, like one would see the positive details when there are negatives, but another way altogether? I wish I could recall what my T and I were talking about - gggrrrrr. I hate it when I can't remember the context when something like this comes up.
