Yeah, I know, you don't have a universe in your theory, as you say that there's no meta-theory your theory, yet, what's that then, all one theory? So, I imagine it's sort of like "Cohen's M's", M for model. Well good luck then, this is one of the examples of the many, many trails with novel sorts content that are quite altogether different from the many, many circles of the usual tit-for-tat-trolls. It's like compression, and signal to noise, that when all the Dumb-Em posts can be compressed to about zero, or, just a starter for establishing contradistinctory duals, here it's that there is at least one signal for all our noise. Warm regards then
