It is non-loopiness which is difficult to understand. Some

If it's not simple, then why is it nearly universally understood,
as well as unchanged over the last dozenish years? Also, why
have you waited so very long to blow a gasket over it, and why
are you the first? I assert that there is nothing to be con-
cerned about here, that you shouldn't be flustered, and that the
whole thing should be forgotten. It's very simple stuff. I'm
sorry that you don't understand it.
