Default "veganism" isn't what it purports to be

No, I know I didn't, and you apparently think you know I did, but you
are sadly deluded, as is not uncommon. You should just start being a
bit more selective about what you claim to "know". You very frequently
claim to "know" things which are utter nonsense and which you
obviously do not have the slightest reason to believe. You should do
something about it.
