Obscurity and Profundity	tonyrey	11/30/05
............................................ Apparently simple questions, like "What is goodness?" are among the most difficult to answer. Is obscurity and even a degree of unintelligibility to be expected in profound explanations?

I'm just guessing, Tony, that you mean something THOUGHTFUL when speaking of obscurity; something impossible to understand when you mention UNINTELLIGIBILITY and something NOT EASILY UNDERSTOOD when something PROFOUND can be found in your puzzle. Let's take GOODNESS and see what conclusion we can draw, using my definitions. It would be THOUGHTFUL to all who understood the meaning of GOODNESS. To someone UNINTELLIGIBLE, it would be of no use because it couldn't be understood. If it's PROFOUND, it can't be easily understood but there's hope that it can be. To conclude: Since you said explanations (plural), you have to expect all three to be present within the context of several profound explanations! Only one if one person is questioned!
