In your previous post you had said, "the intellectual level is the
collection of all ideas."  The code supplied is exactly what you would end
up with by following that assertion. It is your definition which traps one
in the 'rinse and repeat' cycle.

This relates to the MoQ how?

If that is so, I would say you two have a lot in common.

The easiest way to answer that question would be to tell you that they are
the same patterns of value I see expressed in all of your posts.  What are
your fundamental beliefs, Krimel?
