    mel:
    You have raised an interesting point that took some pondering.
    In your 'thow-away' question you may have stumbled upon something
    that has long puzzled me. There just may be several billion different
    types of reasoning.

    While I have only participated in meetings or discussions with maybe
    thousands and realistically closely with dozens of people, I have been
    amazed at how divergently understood was the flow of meaning in
    such meetings. Much of my professional life outside the 'job description'
    has been spent reconciling peoples' views of meaning in such meetings.

    Everyone dresses the form of their reasoning into a faux-logical structure,
    but I suspect there may be many forms of reasoning that are not truly
    the same at base.

    thanks--mel
