Brett,
I respond to this post with some hesitation. What motivates me to nevertheless post is a hope that these words are helpful.
I understand you are frustrated, but I believe that you actually would be shooting yourself in the foot if you uncritically aligned your beliefs to Professor Moglen's. It is my impression that the gauntlet as laid down is not a challenge to agree, but to defend disagreement. I know that you are trying to do so; I would read the prior comments to be a request to do so more empirically. I have spoken with you enough to know that you are a responsible and intelligent student. I am confident you can meet the challenge.
