Art, these are some of your more fascinating responses during this discussion (which by the way appears to have derailed itself now) You use circular arguments, then deride those who find them interesting, you state that you prefer to use common language, then you state that you like to negate and short circuit it. It ends up coming across as highly contradictory, almost belligerent. I know you don't mean to do this, but it would help keep things on track if you avoided making vague and unusual statements and then getting all stroppy when people reasonably request clarifications or start pointing out inconsistencies with your curious ideas.
