Uh, yes.  We do not disagree in substance here.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

The issue I have been arguing is that your use of that FAQ answer as proof that this ad cannot possibly infringe BECAUSE_THE_AD_ONLY_USES_A_BRIEF_PHRASE is bogus.

I have backed up my argument by presenting instances in which certain uses of certain brief phrases have been found sufficient to create an infringement .  This is sufficient to invalidate your reasoning.  Arguing your conclusions or the FAQ statement back at me doesn't make your reasoning valid.

QED.

That's an opinion, not a fact.  It would be very presumptuous of either of us to attempt to make a de minimus ruling one way or ther other.  Stating an opinion is fine, and I have endeavored to label mine as such.
