Oh, that last paragraph is missing its last 2 sentences:
Descartes wasn't wrong because went too far and Hobbes wasn't forgotten because his critique of Descartes was off mark. Descartes was wrong because he didn't go far enough, and Hobbes contemporaries denied him a place in history because they had no answer to his critique.
Oh, and as for where I stand, wasn't that obvious to even you by the final sentence of my initial post? How could you mistake 'where I stood'
