Thanks, I fancy myself an expert pareidoliac! Trying to keep the sarcasm productive, I see:) well at least you seem to enjoy it. I'm surprised you didn't critique Sussman's (& Felleisen?)'s conflation with E&M further, didn't they try this angle already? Actually, seems like they didn't take it far enough so that video is going into the queue.. If the obstinate shall both delve and spin, who then will.. (Isayevicha blagoslovi!) Okay, the quantales seem to be another useful generator of examples
