Okay, I'm starting to get your point. Thanks for your patience.

All right, let me ask you about a practical example. Kindergarten stuff, really.

A man in prehistoric Mesopotamia enters his neighbor's tent. The
neighbor says, "Is it raining outside?" The man replies, "No. I'm
thirsty. Do you have any water?"

Are there any objections to this story being called a realistic
example? If not, let's use it.

Obviously these characters have attained levels 1-3. Have they
attained level 4? Why or why not? How would you change the story to
reverse your decision?

(I'm just playing Socrates until I get well into reviewing Lila.)
