You know we can agree on a conversational level despite having exchanged
zero informational content,  right?

You seem to be accepting that my appreciation or understanding of ... well,
anything... is antithetical to every premise you have thus far attempted to
promote.

"Stuffness comes from fundamental stuff"
... is hardly a point of successful understanding.

You can walk a mile in my shoes, but all you can assert is how that feels
on your feet.  Maybe that's all you ever wanted.  Maybe that's all you'll
ever get.  Idk.
