I was asking more generally re the apparent difference between your many and precise but expensive to communicate analogies and my less precise but cheaper to run system.
I was wondering if you spent more time talking to people who were more willing and able to engage in the conversation than I did. You appear to be saying not really.
So I wonder then if the difference is that I use metaphor to talk to myself more than you do and I’m able and willing to compensate for the lack of precision of my own metaphor when using them as models to think with.
