Robert, your apology is accepted, and I don’t blame you for defending
mathematics when you thought it was being disrespected by a non-mathematician.
We agree, I think, that both mathematics and experience of the external world
are essential to scientific reasoning, and the semiotic explanation y

Before saying anything else, I'll remind
