Thanks! I'll have to check out this Evans fellow. It never ceases to amaze me how readily we accept and apply ideas about objects -- what they're "for" (and what they emphatically aren't) how they affect status, who can and should be wanting or using them, etc. When we truly assay the raw presence and nature of an object though, all these assumptions and ideas about it reveal themselves to be quite ethereal. Such figments are more than enough to sway definitions of sanity, of course, which raises questions about the value of such sanity. Thanks for the context!
