He qualified the term "important" as requiring a specific context, if he did, I missed that. Because that's the point I've been making all along. Important and trivial depend on the context. They are not absolute. This is where we came in. His first post claimed that anyone who said the differences between men and beasts were unimportant was being ridiculous, and I said it depended on the context, that to a hungry lion the difference was only in how fast they could run and whether they had weapons, and no other difference matters to the hungry lion.
