Platt said this was from long ago and I would have liked to "refine" it, 
but OK.

Thanks John!

When we "are" at the intellectual level we don't go round muttering 
endlessly "s/o, s/o, s/o...etc" but forms concepts, ideas, arguments 
from intellect's objective premises ("subjective" the scapegoat) and 
when these arguments meets the objective criterions they are good 
intellect. However knowing MOQ's overview we don't despair over the 
objective arguments dissolving if/when pursued into the metaphysics 
realm.

I know you love to be the jester of this site.
