I'm gonna run with the Brussels sprouts-as-comic-book-movie metaphor.

As I understand it, you're saying that while you have never had a good Brussels sprout before, you believe in the potential of a great Brussels sprout... provided that the aforementioned Brussels sprout actually tastes like a sweet delicious chocolate bar.***

I've got a lot more to say about your various arguments... but first I need to, you know, do my real job for a couple of hours.

***By the way, our mutual pal from News, Nora Ankrum, was the one who clued me into your chocolate fiend-dom. Which is to say – I can and will use your friends against you.
