Yes Ggun, I know you do not fully agree. I understand that you like to understand what input adds to what, and what takes place before a result is concluded.
I must admit My nature is quite different from yours in this respect (one of the reasons I read your posts)
Usually I simply just 'trust the results' (most matters) I find this totally non-confusing. I must admit I try to avoid 'confusion' like the plague. . . But 'Kgun' seems to seek confusion so that he might de-confuse it. I like that . . . It places before me questions and answers that never occurred to me, sometimes I get a perchance enlightenment. a sort of "Oh. . . so that's how that works! - 'finding without the seeking'. . .
Nice.
Basically I have an accepting nature. I guess I just push that barrow sometimes.
Keep posting Mate, I expect some others here have found a mist enveloping the topic of 'rank'
