On the other hand, everything is an index of something. The
question is *what* is it an index of?
My feeling is the best way to act (insofar as we are
astute enough to do it...) is in such a way that the
truth values of situational variables do not affect
the outcome.... First of all, we need to examine the
*questions* being asked -- not just go off trying to
answer them.
