The Detuning of Session 17 and Ra's True Intentions Regarding 2011 - Part II

[Scribe]

If I may be so silly as to comment on issues I know nothing about...if the alignment of the appurtenances actually affects the ability to communicate, and was not simply a metaphor, then logically any issue with the appurtenance would necessarily also be an issue with the communication that the appurtenance was assisting....right? By analogy, if your steering wheel in your car gets out of alignment, you're suddenly going in a different direction than the same hand motions would have directed previously, because the steering wheel is not simply a metaphorical extension of your will directly to the tires...its a necessary mechanical component of the process. So if the candles etc mattered at all, then they have an effect, and any problem with that effect could come through in the ability of the participants to steer the conversation.
