[Platt]
First has no meaning without a second, third, fourth, etc., just as one
has no meaning without many. Those are givens. What seems hard for you to
acknowledge is individuals we're talking about are human beings, not ants. 

[Krimel]
This has never been hard for me to acknowledge. But that is about as close
to recognition of the importance of the social context as I have heard from
you so I'll just hold there. Give it time to sink in.
