I see your point(s), and agree that it's a bit hopeless to convey ourselves by picking a label and expounding. But. I view this question, and a lot of the others asked around here, as an opportunity to be cajoled. By asking lots of questions, framing and stating them differently, asking the interlocutor to speak to a different aspect of something, a lot can be gained. It's an opportunity to see how our different brains work (like how you chose to address the limits of this question, which I appreciate for the little bit it reveals about you). I don't really think that we're moving closer to cold fusion as a result of some of our conversations. But I learn a lot about the other folks who use this site, and occasionally, some answer is given that warps my brain slightly, or even not so slightly. When I'm with interesting people, it almost doesn't matter what we talk about. We can go on a walk, point at different things, and ask each other, "what do you think about that?"
