Hi Case,

Escher bridges ... Hmm ... many a true word in GEB I suspect. (If I
use that myself I'll acknowledge you as the source. Great concept ....
)

If by "intentional" you meant my deliberate intent (ie the common
non-technical sense) then I'm sorry if I give that (understandable)
impression. I'm simply point out how pointless such linguistic
arguments are. I believe the only antidote is dialogue and narrative.
No dictionary can save us when it comes to explanation and
understanding.
