I thought I wasn't aware of Clifford's work (I'm not good with names!), until I read about the ship example! That's kinda famous!
I think your article is very sweeping. What I mean is that in the process of reading it, I get inklings of what Clifford meant, but I don't really understand what he meant. So I'm left with a teased but unquenched feeling! Perhaps narrowing it down to a smaller more specific point would've been better?
I find myself in broad agreement with Clifford, but can't be sure until I study the details.
I have not felt completely satisfied with my postings. I feel that I am caught in between; in making a thorough and compete argument and keeping it concise enough to be expedient for the reader. This has left me having not accomplished either objectives. I haven't written in a while though (never in a blog format), so hopefully my postings will improve over time.
Yeah I think we're all caught between those two Scylla and Charybdis.
