Hi there Kees,

You put over a pretty good arguement - with one exception in my view - you keep arguing the point of a complete novice attempting to understand the most complex principle. Although it is true that the novice would not understand the complex person's story - neither would he be attempting to understand a complex story without first having achieved some basic education in it (the language you keep referring to). I would not attempt to read a story on how to become a great chef without first reading one on what tools are available and how to use them.

So you see - I don't see the problem - the common language will already be in place before the knowldege transfer is attempted.

Otherwise, can I assume that (bar the language problem for the novice) you agree with me that K can be transferred in writing?

Boris
