    Beginning the list of absolutes:

    1. I'm absolutely certain the MOQ should be taken as provisional.

    2. I'm absolutely certain someone believes there are no absolutes.

    3. I'm absolutely certain someone wrote, "If a paragraph ever had a Platt
    essence this would be it."

    Shall I go on?

    Anyway, what IS your problem with absolutes? Are you not certain of
    anything? Your name, perhaps? Or that two bodies can't occupy the same
    space at the same time? Or that someday you are going to die?

    Will someone please explain why the word "absolute" is considered to be
    anathema?
