    I was looking at some of my old posts and I ran across a response to you which I would answer quite differently than I did at the time.

    The problem with that comment is that the reference, “seeing an example of the color blue” is a request for information. What you need to understand is that your understanding of that abstract explanation is a consequence of your creating what you believe to be the only internally coherent explanation of those undefined concepts used in the communication. Things you came to believe you understood as a child, long before you had any concept of what coherent internal consistency meant. There is an underlying problem there which absolutely everyone refuses to look at.
