Sorry, Suzy, dear, but I'm afraid you did miss the point here. The two sections that I started my post with are simply two scenarios--views that some people hold, held, might hold, might have held at one time. They're not my views. I'm simply saying: here are two views, one which virtually everyone would regard as absurd, another that many people regard (in my view illogically) as true. Now what do we conclude from that? And then I've gone on to outline what my conclusions are. But there's nothing in those two opening sections that I personally regard as true.
Bisous, Annabelle
