I think perhaps your fingers outsped your brain here. Before the promised expansion into the specific (which I would like to see) I would like slightly expanded restatement of your abstract point here. E.g., I'm sure you didn't mean to write this: "I remain agnostic as to whether must be true everywhere"; whatever you intended got lost before it reached your fingers. :-)
