I'm sorry, but you basically will need to straighten out your grasp of
formal logic on your own time.

Emphasis added for your benefit:

In other words, you're retreating from your earlier, factually mistaken
assertion that Gentoo, unlike Debian and Ubuntu, includes "software that
may not be lawfully redistributed, such as proprietary codecs", but
would prefer that we not notice.

Of course, that merely takes us _back_ to where we were before you
butted in to ignorantly and erroneously contradict my explanation, but
thank you for playing, anyway.
