Apart from the other arguments I have put forward, one might ask, does
one *want* drive given to the passage?
'Drive' commits one to one register: the personal. While the personal
register is often appropriate, it is not always appropriate.
It depends on the context.

True, not all passages need, nor should have drive. It depends entirely on
the context, as you stated. I wasn't offended, glad that you read my
preface. Tony is one of my all-time favorite players, so having an argument
is the last thing I would want to do. I do respect your knowledge very
much. Glad that you are on the list!
