NB, a personal note for you. I promised years ago to explain something to you but the argument got so overheated that I had to break it off.(perhaps you remember my claim that there was a different type of knowledge besides 'facts'?) and then more recently committed to you that I would write something 'good' about our problem communicating, which I suddenly realized I had not fulfilled when you pointed it out. I am going to unpack my viewpoint over a series of short 'articles'. Full disclosure: the initial inspiration for it was the deteriorated relationship between you and Mensch, and also our inability to explain our first principles to each other. But really the essays are about every person and the relationships they/we have. As such I am aware that it isnt at all germane to this website, but you get first crack at it. You get first chance to criticize/reject. Or feel free to delete this after you read it and wont be offended.
