Hmmm, OK Arlo, in that sentence I put the Context 2 as an afterthought
in parenthesis after those words - you could maybe read it that way -
but my point is you "know" I have a broader of view of how we should
interpret intellect. I couldn't possibly have meant that
interpretation, given the years of exchanges gone before.

The point I keep reiterating is one of respect, if you think I said
something that sounded that it could be wrongly interpreted, suggest a
correction to the specific words, it's an email conversation after
all. Don't (as maybe dmb did rather than you?) build an argument
against the person.

Let me try to rephrase that one phrase as intended.

"Not allowing a narrow, SOMist, Context 2 view to dominate."

(ie a broader Context 2 view of course uses subjects and objects in
its intellectual description, but non-exclusively, it acknowledges
there is a wider view from both contexts, where intellect can - and
should - be defined as more than SOMism. Which if I recall in
paraphrase is what DMB goes on to say, and why I said we agree
already.)

The only other point I added in the mail being referred to was simply
to remind us all that "defining" this "intellect more than SOMism"
remains an open issue post-Bo, but it's existence as the intellect we
are talking about is not in doubt. (Plenty of previous examples of
being open a to a range of possible ways to describe that
MOQish-Intellect ....)
