[Scott:] Naturally :-). The correction I would make is that the logic is
not used to point away from itself to an alternative understanding. For one
thing, in the item under investigation it points to the impossibility of
any understanding, in the sense of something one can capture discursively.
But also, it does not want to point away from itself, but to keep one's
attention on the something and its discursive incomprehensibleness. I would
add (since I'm not all that sure the Indians would agree, or not all of
them), that it points toward the incomprehensibleness as the item's nature,
that what is to us incomprehensibility is to the item its source of
creativity, or modus operandi, or something like that.
