Oh, it looks like Daniel....

Daniel,

Can you read?

First of all, I have never said anything about "hedonistic gratification."
And second of all, that would not be an "intrinsic value" anyway.

And I have never denied "knowing better," either. I'm not even sure in what
circumstances or context you are talking about. There are certainly plenty of
specific times in my life and specific situations where, like everyone, I
have felt that I knew better.

I don't know what saying "enforcement" is "arbitrary and capricious" means
concerning my writing, since you cite nothing (as usual). But since, as you
admit, I haven't enforced anything around here, it seems to be an irrelevant claim.

And I have been arguing, all the time, against the capricious, against the
general and vague, as well, and in favor the specific, the detailed, the unique,
and the careful.

But try again. You might stumble into something that I understand.

--John
