No such thing as over-analysis. Honestly I find the notion that one can give too much thought to something, ridiculous. If there is information to be obtained, there is reason for further analysis.

Again, your experience is not pertinent to what I'm discussing, it neither supports nor refutes it. You have given conscious thought to the matter, the positive things a beard convey are not at the conscious level.

I'm not protesting, merely attempting to save you some time trying to defend that which never came under attack.
