Hi, David,
Sorry to have included you in my grumpiness.
With your example of Dusty, you engage at precisely the baby-steps level
that I seek. I think it helps to start with an evocative particular.
First, could we dispense with the Cartesian metaphor of "expression", the
pimple-pinching model

I missed most of this (and related) threads but am surprised at where this
