Apology accepted. And I apologize if my response sounded condescending as well!
Well, I'll try not to repeat past annoynces, but I'm quite excited about this development and I do tend to analyze things based on my own perceptions. I'm sure you know the story of the blind men describing the elephant. None of their conclusions about the object were correct, but none of their descriptions were incorrect, nor were their conclusions achieved by baseless observations. In the same way that the J-20 has some -what some perceive as superficial- similarities to other aircraft, it does have some unique design elements. These are all very exciting to me.
Some folks like to be told what the world is, and how the world works, others like to try to figure it out. Deductive and inductive reasoning don't have to be mutually exclusive. Some think that they do. I've always preferred the analyses of those who are willing to connect the dots thay see, hear, smell, feel, taste, and intuit. To me it makes for better art, science, and sport.
Nevertheless, you could very well be correct. If my enthusiasm is really that annoying here, if I am detracting rather than contributing, then I might well be in the wrong forum.
In parting, I've always preferred discussion to debate. In debate, the objective is to win by persuasuion. In a discussion, the objective is to contribute to collective learning. Discussions aren't conducted as a zero sum games. Debates are. At least, that's the way I've experienced it.
Peace!!!
