Yeah, I'm thinking about a number of things in that lecture and realizing just how much of our conceptual framework is tied up in language which is probably misleading.
And just in case you're tempted to stop watching at the Q&A section, the last question and answer are worth skipping ahead to, even if you give the rest of it a miss.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
