[MD] Reifying carrots

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi Mark,

I don't know how you use rhetoric. PHONEY is not a proper adjective
describing SQ and its relationship to DQ.  DefinableSQ/IndefinableDQ does
equate to PHONEY/REAL in the defined usage for those terms when PHONEY is
used analogously, REAL is used as defined.   FALSE/TRUE.
The indefinable can be true, the definable can be used falsely.  Your
metaphysics is showing!  ANALOGOUS/LITERAL.
