And the abstract, which is what most language is. I say I am sitting in a chair right now. That can trigger an image in your mind but it is still abstract unless further defined which requires more words. I may mean a light blue lazyboy recliner, or it could be a wooden chair, or a wooden chair with armrests and a cushion, made of oak. That reminds me of the segment in "Waking Life" where some (blond?) actress/writer is talking about what happens when a person hears the word "love", how it goes through the brain and connects to what that word is associated with in the hearer's brain, whether positive or negative, accurate or distorted, etc. Really quite thought-provoking. (Hopefully the word "provoking" has to you the same positive connotation as it does to me )

Is Sagas4's Reply No. 1 applicable to the question of fact vs. opinion? Is subjective vs. objective either/or logic? After reading the previous lengthy question list (I believe it was Harry's?) I see where this is going - pointing out how often we limit an issue to only 2 options, or even 3, when that isn't enough to properly handle all applicable possibilities. At least I *think* that is where this is going.

I think the class is neither half empty or full but wet.
