Bullseye.

Excellent:  I am glad somebody took my relatively limited (we have to start 
dialog somewhere...) point and expanded upon what needs expansion.  I did not 
mean to "limit" what we discuss when I said what I said, as these are expansive 
topics and frequently not easy to discuss.

Thank you, Martin, for expounding upon many tangents of this thread and 
bringing them together in a way that lets us understand that "naming" and 
"fuzzy" and "nature" are not as precise as we might wish them to be.  We've got 
a real, live thread here, vibrant with great dialog!
