Yes, good of you to point it out. When I say "I think " I am using the verbiage of
SOM which, as has been noted by Hofstader and others, inevitably leads to recursive
loops --- as your questions so vividly illustrate! 

It is my habit, and perhaps that of others, to say "I think" when actually I was
reporting a Dynamic understanding as in the MOQ, not a logical conclusion as in SOM.
