I really think I also need to offer congratulations to Findëasëa - and apologies.
She was absolutely spot on with all her suspicions, really impressive reasoning. My horribly patronising showboating about empiricism and so on, was just an attempt at distraction. And on her birthday too. I felt really mean.
Of course the joke was really on me because my argument was nonsense, all my reasoning was entirely a priori, I knew who the wolves were.
