The level of the prose also seems to have risen to new heights in this discussion. It's actually been a good read! I suppose it's difficult to write in a captivating style when it's just about silver or black.
Stewart, this is a welcome refresher since I read Richard Zakia's book "Perception and Imaging" which covers a lot of the same concepts as you clearly presented here.
These concepts are very useful to reiterate once in a while because every time we are subjected to it, we'll have a different perspective with which to digest it. In the end, it can only grow our potential to create things "creatively."

It's unfortunate, and seems inevitable - on internet forums, that something that is interesting and informative - over three or four paragraphs, becomes significantly less-so, when developed into a 'trumpet- blowing' epic.He was probably correct ... but then that has sod all to do with what we are discussing here, has it? this really isn't about you.
