• "@T_K..statement of the obvious, to what purpose exactly?2

    You seemed to bemoan the fact that the bike's marque could be up for debate - that the matter was as trivial as how one might pronounce a word such as potato. I wrote that I didn't think the analogy really worked. My 'purpose' therefore was to make explicit that whether the bike was a Vitus or a Peugeot was something that could be important to some people; a potential buyer who was specifically after a Vitus, for example.
