Can the differences be significant with no one to call them significant?

Things may have been what they were- but without someone to call them significant, are they? The question is really, what is "significance? Is it a word, or does it have existence apart from the word idea. The thesis CH and I have, is that it does not. You say it does, and seem to think that by saying that over and over in many different ways you make it true. I do not think that works- even if your dead professor might have agreed with you. If he would have agreed with you, he would have been wrong too. IMO, of course. I could probably dig up a few bodies to agree with me, but what would be the point?
