My point, restated goes something like this. The MoQ as I read it was never
aimed at a technical audience of any kind. It was a mass marketed attempt to
raise a few philosophical issues. Turning it into a formal system with
technical jargon seems at odds with that. 

[The Peanut Gallerist]
And moreover it MUST be at odds with that. Your point gives us the MoQ in a 
nutshell (!)

[Krimel]
But the larger issue is the problem of developing a metaphysics of the
undefined rooted in precise technical meanings. There is something creepily
oxymoronic in that.  

[And Yet Again, munch munch ...]

F( undefined root, precise technical meanings ) => Metaphysics
F( undefined root, imprecise flowery language ) => Mythology
F( defined root, precise technical meanings ) => Taxonomy
F( defined root, imprecise flowery language ) => Dogshit

Touche Moi! Hmmm ...
