Circuitous? Ahem...
And Noah Webster's still spinning from your expansion of "very."
You have been fascinating to me because you've demonstrated just how far the ambitious, or desperate, can bend semantics to avoid the simple meaning of a absolutely clear and very even-handed commentary. There's a sort of curve where the words get so warped no one can argue with you anymore. The problem is, that's about the same point where the people reading them give up on trying and default back to the simple meaning of the simple words that started the whole thing.
More circular than circuitous.
