SA:  To say "it (is) confus(ing)" is your assertion, and thus your
confusion.  Wouldn't a scientist, serious question, not allow confusion to
stand in the way of data?  I mean for one, I'm not confused by "experience".
It is an event.  And it seems others are not confused by it.  Is there
confusion?  Apparently, but as my point in a recent post of mine considers,
what ones psychology is, is also a part of how reality is for such a person.
Thus, in reality, your reality, it is confusing, but I'm letting you know,
moq's experience is not something that confuses me.

Perhaps you don't find talk of the experiences of rocks and sponges
confusing. Truth is I don't either. I find them laughable. What is confusing
is why anyone would talk that way.
