I suppose the key phrase is: "seem[s] to be weaker."

I suppose it comes down to a matter of interpretation. ;-)

I would I agree in the sense that the attraction only appears to be
stronger. While physical measurements would definately show stronger
recorded forces in the attraction configuration, I don't believe this
analysis takes into account the overall spatial analysis which I
eluded to in a previous post.

It would seem that I agree.

Indeed. The trick seems to be to cather her in the act. >8-0
