Hi Gil,

It looks like I should not try to engage in conversations with you.
But on the other hand I just read your second post to s.b.e. and got
pleased that a (another) person with such a philosophically piercing
science-aligned mind
might be adding itself to the mix in here. :-)

(If only you also turned out to have some 'SEPTIC humor'......I can at least
dream.;)

Cheers,

Peter
