It goes without saying that this is a highly presumptive hypothetical. “If” is being asked to do more than its fair share here, as it not only bears the weight of these future aspirations, but must also disprove and disavow a fairly long hi

Note here you haven’t contradicted him. Your first argument isn’t substantiated, just an appeal to recency. Your second argument makes a false dichotomy between physical and non-physical phenomena that is irrelevant to the underlying issue.

Eco’s method here is as old as time, going back to Socrates’s dialogue with Meno considering what makes a bee a bee. A way to describe something is to identify its common features with other things identified as such. It’s stood the test of

Correct. So ultimately the conclusion to this thread that one might draw is that the professions vary in complexity and nuance, even within themselves, and that attempting to fashion a hierarchy among them with incomplete information (and a

The man is plainly over-reaching here, though perhaps it's an expression meant to bolster his public persona, and not an actual representation of his knowledge. General counsel (at least in the Anglo-American context) means the senior
