The devil (that is "I") made him do it! No, just kidding. His concern there stemmed from my distractingly oversimplified example of a composition consisting of mostly neutral triads. My point was that although no one triad lasted long enough to be clearly discerned as neutral, the overall ambiguous sensation of neutral thirds came through loud and clear. But Matthew's right that moods are a cumulative effect not specific to any one mode.
