Just to clarify: "Nut graph" is journalism slang for the paragraph that best summarizes the most important element of a given piece of writing; i.e., it gets down to the nut or heart of the topic. I wasn't commenting on the rationality of your thinking.
(I've only ever commented on the sanity of myself and Walrus, and I certainly wouldn't want his tusked eminence to get electrotherapy. I greatly enjoy the way his posts ping wildly about in a nearly non-sequitur way when he's had too much caffeine. ;))
