Thanks for the distinction. I may be venturing too far in saying "absolutely," but my level of belief is very high. It would have been adequate to say that I was strongly persuaded. "Virtually" may be more apposite in that it verges on certainty but does not quite disappear into it, leaving at least hypothetical room for doubt. I deeply hope that no one will be driven to these states by the things said about Lou here. And I hope Lou himself weathers them well.

About the latter point you make: I really am sorry that Lou tortures himself- but perhaps I"m not sufficiently empathic with Lou's concerns, and therefore my reassurance may be un-reassuring, I can see what you mean. I suppose at one level, I"m simply trying to get Lou's attention.

-But then I ask myself, is consolation what Lou cares about? Or does he, as I often feel, believe with such conviction in his own idea, that no amount of dialogue could move him to question it at all?

If this is not fair to Lou, I apologize to him for underestimating his level of engagement. I shouldn't blame him for his conviction-- I often get that way myself, when in the grip of some compelling idea.
