IN THE INTERESTS OF BREVITY, I WILL NOW BE EDITING ALL COMMENTS THAT EXCEED ROUGHLY 250 WORDS. I WILL ALSO REMOVE SUBSEQUENT POSTS THAT APPEAR TO BE AN EFFORT TO GET AROUND THAT LIMIT. COMMENTS ARE WELCOME, BUT TOO MANY HAVE BECOME LONG PHILOSOPHICAL EXPOSITIONS, AND SUCH LENGTHY EXPOSITIONS SUBVERT THE PURPOSE OF COMMENTS.
