I get it. Thank you for your explanations. to wendell, these are not
difficult concepts to grasp once they are stated explicitly.
That's good. (I find it reassuring -- no I am not an alien from another
planet! although I suppose this doesn't disprove that idea. :-)
Thanks for asking the "dumb" question. Frequently I find that the "aha"
happens for many only after someone has the courage to do that -- and it
can illuminate all kinds of unstated assumptions.
Cheers,
Wendell
