But was your argument based on the white rabbit problem? And in any
case, the white rabbit problem is merely a problem for Bruno's thesis,
not a show stopper. As far as I'm aware, my solution to the white
rabbit problem is compatible with Bruno's COMP, although it does
require some additional asumptions. Nobody has checked this
thoroughly, of course.

So it is time to put up or shut up Godfrey! If you have some genuine
argument against the YD, let's hear it.

Cheers
