No, that is not what Amy is saying, and it is not what Amy thinks Gore 
is saying, and it is not what I think Gore is saying -- and, if Gore's 
words are to be taken to mean exactly what they say, it is /not/ what he 
is saying.

There is a difference between overstating a point and repeatedly 
hammering it home. The danger that Gore says he is willing to risk is 
not the danger of misrepresenting the facts, but the danger of being 
perceived as a monomaniac.
