I don't see why you would assume that. Have I given you any indication that I specifically didn't understand how tubular tyres work?
I would like to point out to you the difference between a "newbie" in terms of the forum's ranking system and an actual newbie. With this crucial difference in mind, it would be equally reasonable for me to inquire your understanding of their inner workings.
And yes, you are altering the text of my quotes by either shortening or emboldening it, thus rendering them inaccurate. If you choose to use the quote function, please do so accurately.

No, because a large portion of used CF wheelsets being offered still use tubular tyres. That's why I'd consider them, because they are more plentiful, usually lower in price and of higher value, but that's already been discussed.
