Look, with regard to your immediate...final interpretant, I prefer not want to discuss this with you. It feels like a boy coming to my shop asking for a cents worth of candy. I reply, which kind you would like: jelly beans, mint or licorice? And the boy responds: I want candy because that is all there is.
