No, why is it important to you that I agree with you?

I don't think I've been disrespecting any of your points.  
Refutations are not disrespectful to people with healthy egos.  I 
don't agree with your conclusion and I've stated the reasons why, in 
clear, plain, and extensive language.  What more do you want from 
me?  Apparently, you will not be satisfied until I agree with you, 
and you think my not agreeing with you is disrespectful.  Sorry, your 
royal highness, but that doesn't fly in my world.

Yeah and I'm sure there were world-wide labour strikes in the Star 
Trek universe when the replicator was invented.  So, progress can be 
an interesting and exciting thing to behold.  If there's one thing 
that is consistent in human civilization over the eons, it's 
perpetual social turmoil. And I for one prefer that, with all its 
inherent challenges, to stagnation.
