I don’t believe all interpretations are necessarily equal, but all interpretations are indeed interpretations. Your interpretation that they made up a law is indeed an interpretation, as is their interpretation. I’m sure you’ll judge that your interpretation is superior, and they judge that theirs is.

So there is indeed a way to determine what my post is saying, even though some of those ways might be different in interpretation.

It’s philosophical discussions like this that reinforce my great affection for you, **Shodan**. 🙂
