Maybe when we're done looking at "tradition" we could look at "obvious". It's hard for me to think that anything that took such a long post to "prove" could be obvious.
It might be true (though I don't think so) but it SHO ain't obvious.
Then read it again, you will see it.
It is quite obvious if you just read what it says instead of what people tell you it means.
Read it for yourself and forget all you were ever taught.
Remember:: WHAT WAS THE SUBJECT THEY WERE TALKNG ABOUT?
