I think we've proved beyond reasonable doubt that the answer to the original question is
Jedburgh, Its just you.
Is it just me or are people fucking thick?

Gods, this thread reminds me of trying to teach spreadsheet formulae to 11 year olds.
There's an explanation followed by some blank looks. A more detailed explanation is given, followed by confused looks and "I...think I get it...". Someone else then gives an explanation that is totally wrong.
A re-explanation involving simple simple analogies and ideas is given, followed by happy "I get it!" looks. You think you're winning, they think they're winning.
Then they say "so what's 'B6+A5' mean? And what's the equals sign do?"
Back to square 1 (or cell A1 in my case, which is nice and padded with soothing off-white walls).
Repeat this until everybody is completely confused and has no idea anymore what is correct. Give up and do something else - I chose to show them how to draw pretty graphs.
This thread has looped on itself more times than one of these things
