[MD] relatively pure

[MarshaV]

Greetings,

It's nice to be able to explain why 'pure' doesn't mean 'pure' but merely 'relatively pure' without being accused of some horrendous, unspeakable, anti-intellectual crime against definition.  I suppose that goes back to which level of turtles (analogy) works best for you rhetorically.  Thank goodness RMP was quite clear:

"Fantastic, Phædrus thinks, that he should have remembered that. It just demolishes the whole dialectical position. That may just be the whole show right there. Of course it's an analogy. Everything is an analogy. But the dialectician don't know that."

"Ahh, do it anyway. It's interesting."
