I merely responded to Henryk's question concerning the taking of hUPER in 1 Cor 14:29 in its normal sense. He questioned it, since it seemed to lead to a foreign scriptural position. If anything, I was arguing for retaining its normal sense, and exposed the faulty assumption taken by many that Paul was condoning baptism for the dead, since he didn't condemn it. I showed the contextual framework where Paul had been arguing by assumption-for-the-sake-of-argument methodology only to show that this is how we must understand v. 29. Assumption for the sake of argument certainly does not mean the position being assumed is actually believed by the arguer. In fact, it usually means just the opposite. This was not a translation issue. I never argued for any particular translation. It was, rather, a defense of the normal meaning of hUPER.
