Anthony,
Your comments suggest to me that you read Bob/Diane's position as
espousing, vis-a-vis human Alltaglichkeit, precisely the variety of
characterization/interpretation which H takes pains to criticize in SuZ.

That is how I read his/her position. That restores my confidence. Just
maybe, I am not failing to see my mastery of the English language failing
me.
Cheers,
jim
