[MD] The hard question.

[Andre Broersen]

Marsha to dmb:

Now is it the case that one will fall off the Earth if one explores beyond "repeated arrangements" or "stable configurations" or "steady structures"?

Andre:
No! One will just suffocate, hang, be quartered, burned, electrocuted, executed, drowned, guilliotined, garotted, lynched, bankrupted, annihilated, confused and go absolutely bananas!

As you say, changing Anthony's very simple and elegant two-word explanation into "a paragraph" leaves it open to all the miseries mentioned above.

Why can you not accept the simple description given by Anthony? If you have read LILA this will give one great satisfaction and recognition...most certainly on an intuitive level.

Instead you feel you have to give 'a paragraph' of explanation. You must feel incredibly uncertain or you do not have any idea about static patterns of quality.

My hunch is that it is both.
