No, it is not a misrepresentation. It is an accurate representation of
your own argument, as you have permitted it to evolve, even if you
don't understand it yourself. One by one you have introduced each of
these ridiculous corollaries to your cherished bipedal wading
hypothesis: waist-deep, in the gallery forest, and then with no handy
trees along the edge. Those are your corollaries, not my psychological
projections.

Please don't do that. The "no handy trees" argument was a speific
response to your precious citing that reported that bonobos never
resorted to waist deep wading as they climbed trees. I was merely
pointing out that sometimes there wouldn't be a handy tree escape the
dreaded waist deep water.

"escape"?????
