Daniel replies:

Thanks Richard for your elucidation of the phrase "preternaturally
indefectible."  The last sentence above is fairly clear to me but the
sentence beginning "What it means to me. . . ." is hard for me to
understand what meaning you are trying to convey.  No doubt, it is
perfectly clear to you!  Could you please elucidate and translate that
sentence for me.
