Azamat, (01)
I was trying to point out that there are many flowers blooming
in the context fields, but most of them have not been adequately
identified, analyzed, defined, and classified. (02)

What I was saying is that just adding an at-phrase that represents
some undefined "view" does not constitute a theory. Everybody
knows that different people have different views, and those views
are important for interpreting what they say. (05)
Merely acknowledging that fact does not add to our knowledge about
context, and claiming that mKR has a theory of context because of
its "at view" phrase is misleading, confusing, or false advertising. (06)

That's a good slogan. But there's a big difference between actions
and slogans. Remember that about 40 years ago, Mao let loose the
Red Guards, who tried to destroy the "flowers" (books, art work,
and scholars) of several millennia of Chinese arts and sciences. (08)
I don't believe that mKR poses a threat to the arts and sciences,
but I was suggesting that Dick might make a more useful contribution
if he tried to clarify his claims about context. (09)
