I'm startled by this comment.
I mean, I understand that it was the thing to do that Pebblesorters would endorse, that part isn't startling, but I didn't think you endorsed that "Pebblesorter::(should, right, moral, etc.)" way of speaking.
Does this reflect a change in your position, or have I misunderstood you on this all along?
It does seem to be change. In past conversations about his 'should' definition he has advocated 'would-want' for this kind of concept and carefully avoiding overloading 'should'.
Given his subsequent response and (I assume his) retraction of the comment, I infer that he still endorses the same position.
Yes, but clearly without being dogmatic or obsessive about it. Probably a good way to be.
