Thief here...Hey Zardoz....
I did read your reference.
Some of the details and terms are unfamiliar...however...
I sense that we are much more similar, than not.
When I write such essay I try to be brief, and deliberate to refrain nouns and names that the next guy might not know.
I use such technique to lessen the digression.
All too often, names and reference are used as if to refute a discussion, all the while the content was the important part.
As in this thread...there is discussion going back and forth that has no, or little, direction toward ...man made of dust.
