    I think the "debate" between levels of MoQ *IS* the source of truth.

    I agree. But I don't understand what you said before. When is
    intellectual debate validly constrained by social convention? Did
    you mean to say invalidly constrained? IMO, any societal constraint
    on debate or any other free exchange and interaction of ideas is
    invalid and immoral. Always.
