I think I missed something here. I agree with his idea about depend and 
discrete, but the "duh" came a little unexpected.

That was also a bit cryptic. Would you mind elaborating on the empirical method 
problem? I actually don't think the intellectual level is such as mystery. The 
mystery comes along when you start involving "me"s and "I"s, but those include 
much more than just static intellectual patterns.
