Ham:
I was simply using an analogy to express what passes for philosophy
these days. Since analogies are a form of poetic license freely used by
your esteemed author, it seemed an appropriate way to summarize my take
on Platt's analysis of the MoQ. My statement was obviously intended as
criticism of a thesis, not a personal "insult".
