Just keep in mind that things we categorize into two things often masks a
more complete understanding.  For instance, rational and irrational.  These
are far from neat categories.  I suggest a continuum for rationality as for
man psychological things.  Few, if any, of these things are discrete
categories.  In physics, perhaps so.
