Point 1 Yes. You may be onto something here Mark [I assume that's your name]. Some very intelligent people have suggested that the sloppy use of 'is' causes more misunderstanding than any useful communication. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime. And in "Gödel, the Mind and the Laws of Physics" Roger Penrose draws a picture of Three worlds and the mysteries that connect them http://sustainedreaction.yuku.com/topic/4931/Three-Worlds-Three-Mysteries#.VW0b9rzGI8o 1. The mathematical world 2. The mental world 3. The physical world which means that the 'is' in each is different. As enumerated here http://blog.languager.org/2015/03/cs-history-0.html the history and very existence of CS has arisen from grapping with these questions. Point 2: [unrelated to the content of the OP] You may wish to consider whether your style and the names you keep assuming and changing are helping you. Best I can see many people have begun to killfile you. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
