I would tell you about it, but now I'm afraid I'm distracting you from the latest chapter in Methods, which is kind of overdue and eagerly expected (and half of a Na No Wri Mo novel's wordcount? what exactly have you been up to?). I swear I'll take the time to go through the sequence and identify and point out the points at which I got lost, but first I'll wait for you to publish that chapter.

And yes, I know that one person's obvious is another's opaque; after all, that is the very root of this very problem.

@Donvoters: I am genuinely sorry; I'm just being honest here. This is like being addicted to a drug and, after months of waiting, hearing that the next batch is imminent and huge. I'm sort of fretting right now, and I'm probably not the only one.

Did you get back to Eliezer about what you found difficult in Mixed Reference?

I had forgotten. Thanks for reminding me.
