hen's brittle-but happily nested- egg :-)
Mr. Morrissey, it is quite disingenuous of you to continue to make these kinds 
of assertions qua attacks/evangelisms.  

For:
 1) your thomism is an archaic jargon equal to, if not far beyond heideggerian
 and 
2) i, for one, attempt to bring heideggerian 'jargon' into a common 
understanding, mostly not originally, since i cut heideggerian teeth at the feet 
of dreyfus (tho he is certainly not directly responsible for my poppycock).

as a matter of fact, there are a variety of performances of heidegger 
translation/interpretation coming from R Sheets, Michael E, Michael P, S 
Callihan, and many others, be they critics, ignorance-claimers or otherwise...

i suggest that you are being flippant, all-too-flippant...

i DO think a real issue lies here about what might be described as the 
*totalizing account* that heidegger provides
--there are interpretive problems about interior and exterior perspectives.  
(the same is so for your medieval amoeba.)
kindest regards,
henry
