Speaking of religion, while I'm a beginner at zen , there is an interesting concept therein I think I can describe. My teacher used to go on about the virtue of "doubt." Took me a while to get a clue where he was coming from on that one. From what I can gather, point is to hold in a cherished place of honor, in your mind, a subtle doubt about everything you think you know; to hold open the possibility that everything you think is true is in fact, not.

You may observe that this is advice I should really take to heart. Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you.

BTW, above in post #273 towards the end, is a paragraph that describes some of my disbelief that you are even arguing against non-verbal communication. Starts with "..as for all the crap I'm getting..."
I work in science. In my job and in my life I believe that all assumptions should be examined and tested. Nothing is sacred, everything is hypothetical and subject to negation.
