Would you agree that an absolutely precise language with zero ambiguity would be somewhat stifling for use in a "creative" mode? It seems to me that new points are discovered when different observers attempt to relate their positions relative to a third point of discussion. The analogies, misunderstandings, reconciliation, and meta-symbols that are required for even the simplest agreement often generates more context about the other party in the conversation than the point upon which they eventually agree. you think? ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=69974416-f4c42d
