Hi Arlo,

I was trying to use precise language which I find necessary in conflicting
metaphysics like SOM and MOQ.  I wasn't trying to be obscure or
literal/metaphorical.  Imho for precision I try to use a distinction between
perception (analogy/metaphor) and conception (Webster's dictionary).

Imho DQ as evolution is not nonsense.
