Pilgrim,

Well, I *think* I understand where you're coming from. I still think that, in your description of my position back to me, you are grossly misrepresenting my reasoning, in fact exactly reversing my logic trail, but I'm giving up trying to defend it. I suspect if we were to keep digging, we'd eventually find we have different epistemological views, which are very difficult to translate. It's ironic though that such a fundamentally different philosophy will only show itself in 1% of "issues," and even then only small ones.
