Ah, but from the point of view of this argument, you didn't make a 
mistake, you made a meta-mistake.  It wasn't that you didn't understand 
how to move data around between processes, it was that you didn't think 
you were moving between processes!  Whether or not you do understand 
remains to be seen :-)
