Marsha: Judgement calls of how a text is 'artfully' or 'artlessly' deployed are based on the results of everyone's different history and current patterns of value. You might call that 'contextual', or possibly 'relative' or 'subjective'. The labeling of a question as 'absurd' is your prerogative. And it is mine to say the turn you have taken doesn't interest me. --- I did appreciate the latest exchange between you and David Harding. I thought there were good ideas coming from both of you. Thanks for that.
