I think you miss the point -- it is the other way round, if
there were a trivial conversion, then it would show that there
was no significant issue of expressive power. The fact that
there is no trivial conversion is *suggestive* of the fact that
there is some important issue of EP, but certainly not proof.
In fact, I strongly agree that this is a critical factor, and
I think the excercise of trying to think about the tool, as
you did in your msg, provides valuable clues as to why this
is so!
