>I will ask a real question, then: Shouldn't one of the main premises of our speculations and calculations be that we are ignorant?< (The student walks across the rice paper in deafening silence - then rips a Rebel yell and flips the sensei the bird.) And if you think taht is unlikely - remember Eddie Murphy did a Zen monk movie! If we presuppose ourselves as completely ignorant, there's no point in opening our mouths (or typing fingers). If we presume ourselves to be quite free of ignorance, there's no point yada yada yada. Now if we figure on selective ignorance, the fun is back. The balance thing again?
