These are obviously alternative views of the same thing -- as MarkM and
I have made clear throughout. It really doesn't matter whether you view
the object has having been "extended" or not, if that is semantically
unobservable.

(And I don't like people trying to tell me what "camp" I'm in, thankyou.)
