Yes; judging one another is de rigueur. Keep a civil tongue and take some comfort that approval counts twice as much as otherwise.

[ Fuller is talking about real physics, and following his admonition, I dare to be naive.]
(BTW you did "This is going to take all the critical thinking & thinkers that I can muster. - post#11)Sounds right up my alley
I can't think of one aspect of existence that can't be misconstrued when one doesn't have the whole picture. [Synergy is defined as behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the behavior of their parts taken separately. - Mr. Turtle below]
For instance I figured you to be younger (twenty or thirty something, I really don't know why) but I clearly must have been wrong [ I have read these works when they came out,] They came out as you posted 1975-1979 which means I was 0-4 years of age at the time you first read these

never before last walkabout had i specifically sought the camas seed, and so one revelation for me rooting around that field was that the camas pods & seeds make a most unusual and remarkable sound when disturbed. i may have heard it before in the field but never knew the cause, and would not have associated the sound with camas even this time save it was camas seed i sought & it was camas seed i found. the sound is bright, high pitched, almost like a quick & short whistle or a little...

once i id'd it, i checked my county listing of vascular plants found and this one is not there. 
this is the plant i mentioned earlier...

the beautimous little flower you see, for now, aside this post is a plant native to my area, namely Fringecup - Tellima grandiflora. that it is fringed is obvious, but less so 'grandiflora', as it is a rather not grand but small flower. so this one i collected several years ago and grew in a pot, then put it in the yard in a shady corner last year. it's thriving & i spent the last couple days harvesting the ever-so tiny seeds now matured. of the maybe 40 seeds i got i have planted a few...
