Agree with Chris.  Very well explained and what I also think about JMJM.

When I read JMJM's dismissal of his speach, it comes across to me as a way of 
acknowledging that words are imperfect ways to share experience.  I find it 
humble and honest, not with the negative connotation I associate with sophisty. 
 


He's not attacking people then pretending he said nothing; he's sharing the 
words his group uses for their "Theory of Zen Practise" and then disclaiming 
those words as being just words.  


Thanks,

Regardless of the derivation of the word, to say something then dismiss it is 
sophistry.  Words cannot be unsaid.
