Positions 1 and 2 are not even close to mutually exclusive.

I'm sorry, I'm still laughing at the post where you said that a 44-year-old woman with a master's degree in journalism who has worked as a reporter for almost two decades, including several at the New York Times, must be confused about what "journalism" is.
