So something I asserted was that I had tried to study Bruno's structure with as little direct knowledge of the contents as possible. Between this thread and another where I addressed Bruno directly I actually said his was the best structure I'd personally seen, or at the top table. I think that in my choice of wording I definitely acknowledged that my judgements could be totally vacuous in some hard light of reality. But that's almost a given for all of us. So the question is whether, within my own mind, I was passing a measured compliment, or was I gushing, and if so falling foul of part of the complaint I was making to Edgar (the other part was that he had no right to rope me into a complaint about other people that I might not agree with). That's a legitimate question, particularly as yet another part of my complaint to Edgar was that he throwing out a standard that he hadn't yet shown himself living up to, since almost all his interactions are about his ideas, and almost all interactions to him are people granting him their time, despite in many cases it being pretty apparent the personal opinion of the individual was that there wasn't any mileage in his ideas. So legitimate here in terms of whether I was applying a standard that I had at least been trying to live up to previously. Another question is whether it is even possible to study a structure without understanding the contents. So for that reason I will briefly lay down Bruno's structure as I see it. And to the extent it's completely wrong, then I guess that goes a long way to answering the question above. And to the extent it doesn't even make sense on its own terms, that goes a long way to answering whether or not I was blowing smoke up Bruno's ass for some self-serving purpose. So, partly because I was planning to do so anyway, I shall be doing a post in its own thread, where I lay my balls on the trowel regarding Bruno's structure. The useful component here, is that it definitely won't be controversial with others to suggest I have minimal direct knowledge of the contents of the UDA. Since part of the claim is that it's possible to meaningfully analyse for a structure without knowing a lot about the contents. It's also obviously implied that I think I'm talking about structure in some non-trivial sense that isn't already made clear by Bruno himself like "my initial assumptions are simpler". It can be taken as a given I'm not talking about something that amounts to simply repeating something that has been said simply. I'm saying this bit here, and saying my analysis there, because this bit is only relevant here.
