No problem. I just didn't want the confusion to continue.

Perhaps humane/inhumane is something more than just surgery/pain?

You misunderstand my point. My contention is with those that say that one surgery is different from another when it comes to being humane/inhumane, and I take issue with that. I'm not saying that surgery is inhumane - in fact, I said above that I support spaying and neutering.
Simply put:
Bad argument: "Declawing is inhumane because you are putting a creature through pain."
Good argument: "Declawing is inhumane because you are putting a creature through pain only to benefit YOU."

I do not believe that it causes more harm than not getting it done, if it's done correctly.
