Max,
What might “sound quite reasonable” to you is neither here nor there.
There’s no hypothesising what Judith has said. You obviously didn’t notice that my post consisted of 8 questions. You can know that a sentence is a question when you see this punctuation mark “?” !
However, I may have been able to provoke Judith into into answering your question but not mine. Despite what she says about building bridges, coming down from the ivory tower etc, she isn’t interested in answering too many questions.
Judith can’t create an atmosphere of doubt and uncertainty by doing that.
