John, you said
Engineers know that Newtonian mechanics is
not as precise as quantum mechanics or relativity.
We really think alike:
1) I am an engineer.
2) The first draft of my email to you
suggested that we were involved in
modeling the human mind,
and we could think of our situation as if
"Objectivist Context" was Newtonian Mechanics
and "Cognitive Science" was Relativity and
Quantum Mechanics.
I deleted that from my email because I thought
it would make you even more aggravated with me.
If you have a Cognitive Science model,
I'll give you an mKR representation of it.
