Dear Bruno,
again a post from you with your wits. I will post my reply (if I get the
relevant points from Russell and - if I can - ) onlist.
However your expression:
>"... I think we can progress
> only by understanding misunderstandings ..."<
(what I assume as 'the list's understanding of 'my' mis...) assumes a
position of judging the content of a proper understanding.
I wonder...

With friendship

John M

PS: with apologies I correct my typo in the post to Russell:
please read "WHOLISTIC" instead of 'wholitic' in my 1st sentence.J.
