   Thank you, Julian dear, for talking to me in front of me,   
   rather than behind my back. I feel honoured.   
      
   That said, there is the famous quip in philosophy of   
   science, to the effect that if you ask the wrong question,   
   you won't even get a wrong answer. By the way, that is   
   pretty much how mental culture works, or does not.
