	Thankyou very much Martin for this reply.  Yes it seems apprent 
that I am jumping from one state to another (i.e. subjective to objective 
and the other way around).  This is I have done as a purely Functional 
Argument against the pervious posts.  In other words, this "jumping" is 
not the point, it is to make a point, its an a posteriori form of 
argument, that should not, and cannot be used against the argument.  I am 
sorry for any misunderstandings.....
Chow,
