Ha Ha yes David,
"Since the Romans have taught us "Simplex Veri Sigillum" --that is: simplicity is the hallmark of truth-- we should know better, but complexity continues to have a morbid attraction." (EWD898)

I love it the way a question for reflexion was turned upside down into a language shoot out. We (me included ) have not progressed much from stone age tribalism, notwithstanding Mount Sinai and the prophets. I love it, I love it.
Peace to you,
