Oh, but it doesn't offer 'precisely' anything. It also says that we don't have the faintest idea - & I think we have more than that.

Look how the most interesting concepts defy attempts to pin them down! It is this very literary squidginess that keeps some running after it, while others grab onto one aspect and decide they've figured it out and sit quiet and smug on the raging battlefield...should it be any other way? 
Cheers!
Lyta (still haven't decided, but I think it will end up like complete burning of molecule--a percentage of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen--tells us the absolute makeup of a molecule without giving a clue to its sublime structure...why did I say that? Because the coffee hasn't worked its magic fully yet!) And this glides smoothly to Gandalf's words about "he who breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom." Forgive my free association and atrocious post structure. I have still managed to stay atop the fence though!
Cheers again!
