Thank you, Judith. It's often the case that people who misconstrue empirical research findings also fall prey to misunderstanding the epistemic texture and sonority of my philosophical questions. (Is "sonority" a word?) Not quite sure of the nature of that connection, since the philosophical has no necessary relation to the empirical, but it's still real, in a manner of speaking. Walter of O.
