I don't understand why Barry/BFO is not here, Adam; BFO purports to
be as comprehensive as the three above, at least qua ULO, does he
not? And he's not exactly a newcomer (though I suppose his being a
philosopher counts against him a priori :-). I suspect Matthew West
would make the same claim for his work. What are your reasons for
singling out these three? (03)
