[MD] From each... to each

[Stephen Hannon]

Hello Craig, Arlo

I think language is merely a tool to help in understanding concepts. 
Language does not tell us how to value part of reality, only gives us
convenient names that we call various concepts in order to communicate
with one another

Craig said:
1) Language tells us wolves have sharp teeth.
2) Biologists tell us wolves have sharp teeth.

Consider this 3) If we experience a wolf attacking us, experience
tells us wolves have sharp teeth, even if we don't know the words
"wolf," 'sharp," or "teeth," and even if there are no biologists
around to tell us.
