That's all you took in from those two links?

Nope.

Unlike a lot of people here who eschew links in general (quite likely because they haven't figured out how to even provide them ) and others who seldom read them anyway, I almost always take the time to read links provided (a believer of 'never miss an opportunity to increase one's knowledge')...in their entirety.

But instead of taking every single item that I agreed with/supported my own view(s), or even the opinions that I disagree with, I simply highlighted that portion of your post...that went straight to the crux of the issue.
