While I think this is a worthwhile line of inquiry, and one that might deserve further exploration, I would beg your indulgence just a bit further and call a momentary time-out in this questioning. We have one final match before us, and then I intend to step aside for the free-for-all to begin.

So, if I may, hold that thought for a bit, and then I invite you to jump right back in, feet-first ;)

The much awaited "shock and awe" campaign:^)

Patrick, your follow-up question is duly noted and per the general's orders I will wait to answer until I analyze the next pic. At some point though I think it will be necessary to clarify the meaning of "nature" as used in your distinction between "nature" and "intelligence".

Cordially,
