Axtually, no, it doesn't; the preceding quoted part is what did that.
This particular quoted part just confirmed that I'm not being reasonable
and logical about all of this.

Nice, but not I think relevant to the assertion at hand, although
perhaps relevant to the argument. If you'd provided that in reply to the
*second* half of my previous post, about "muxers do not/should not
combine multiple subtitle files" (in which argument I now see at least
one major hole), it might have been more appropriate - but you decided
not to try to address that.

This may be drifting offtopic, and in any case is becoming less and less
productive, so I don't know how much longer I'm likely to continue it...
