The second of these; I can see I wrote with less than sterling precision.
Apologies.

I disagreed with the part of your post which begins with "although... ."
My specific claim is that Gosse's book, which is
in print BTW, makes a credible, if not persuasive (to me) argument
that a "deceptive god hypothesis" is not necessary.
It is your claim that "a deceptive god" is the necessary result
of taking a YEC position. My citation of Gosse's book is simply
to point out that while that may be a possible result, it is not
a necessary one.
