SUO: Re: Who can raise an issue?
o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o
Chris,
I think I empathize the spirit of this,
but I think the letter of it is unduly
complicated. Working as I do from the
"non-inquiry-blocking" (NIB) rule, the
only reason for having epi*rules about
it seems to be the risk of destructive
interference between various waves and
particles of inquiry -- questons(?) --
or what Matthew describes as a problem
about pigeons. In mathematics there's
this famous theorem about pigeon-holes,
which I guess is the anti-particle for
pigeons, but more to the point, I have
never found this to be such a terribly
aweful problem -- not to put myself on
the side of the pigeons or anything --
that it justifies all of the Draconian
measures commonly Inquistioned against
a few loose birds in the mental aviary.
