So, the criteria you use is ‘sensibility’…along with simplicity, correct? And, you arrived at this juncture how?...other than using the very thing (thinking) that you are arguing about, no?

I will invite you to let go of the reigns a bit and just watch where the beautiful stallion wishes to roam on its own. You may also learn its true identity.
