[MD] The Intellectual Gauntlet

[Ian Glendinning]

I'll need to come back to you Marsha, but briefly ...

Not "ignoring" conflict and contradiction - between two dichotomous
positions - just seeing it as a sign of some other position not yet
understoood by those disagreeing - possibly embedded in the use of
language those parties are using.

I will come back - just busy today - don't let me off that hook.
