You're too kind. I know how important <words> are to you.

Oh,... did you want something less general perhaps? How's `bout: ironic

A hoped that I might be able contrast the important role subjective
senses play in "determining the existence of something" with the belief
that importance is a "waste of time" and to do so in a thought provoking

either told it wrong or told it to the wrong person. I'll try harder next
time (or chose a different audience).
