I am not sure why this is not evident to all, but it is surely the sticking point in this discussion. A matrix is not a container of matrices. That it acts like one is surprsing. Surprises are bad unless they have a clear justification. Perhaps a clear justification exists, but it has not been offered in this discussion.
